Integrating control and software views in a CACE/CASE toolset
Steve Vestal · 2002
Significant previous and ongoing work exists in the area of computer-aided control engineering toolsets to support the specification and analysis of control systems. Several toolsets exist to support control system design and analysis, and a few tools exist to automatically generate control software. Analogous work on computer-aided software engineering toolsets for high-level specification and analysis of real-time systems also exists. This paper gives an overview of a toolset that extends and integrates work in both these areas to provide a multidisciplinary toolset to support, concurrent engineering of computer-based control systems. Particular emphasis is placed on concepts that appear in the toolsets for both disciplines and on aspects of multidisciplinary development.>
