Applying Object-Orientation to Developing an Integrated Environment for Computer-Aided Control System Design

Abstract Object-oriented analysis (OOA), design (OOD), and programming (OOP) have an increasing impact on CACSD. Many attempts have been made in the past to develop open, integrated CACSD environments. Based on the experience from implementing Leporello - a large scale environment for control system design, we decided to aim for a redevelopment with Oberon in a much simpler way. Starting from the main requirements for this new system, the implementation issues, i.e. development of the graphical user interfaces, tool integration, project management and project documentation with Oberon will be discussed by means of a concrete example - rapid prototyping of control systems for a servo system.
