Interactive software for computer-aided-design of control systems via optimization

Any computer-aided design package is an implementation of concepts which define both the nature of the design methodology and the nature of the appropriate software. This paper describes some of the general concepts that have evolved in Berkeley in the process of developing a powerful software system for interactive optimization-based computer-aided-design of multivariable control systems. Facilities permitting, a prototype interactive design package will be used to illustrate how these concepts have been implemented in practice.
