It is shown that, in a high-resolution coiour graphics workstation environment, graphical descriptions of control systems in the form of block diagrams and signal flow graphs with standard mathematical text make the interface natural and friendly for the user. Manipulation, reduction and transformation of system representations are facilitated by rule-based methods, and computer algebra systems are shown to have a place in these and other forms of mathematical processing used in the design process.

Criteria is an interactive computer-aided control systems design package based on Zakian's criteria. The package embodies a number of simple yet effective algorithms and forms an efficient design tool that has been successfully applied to many engineering problems. The package also offers facilities
A n interactive computer aid for designing log/ca/networks representing air-traffic-control systems is described. Parallel activity streams can be described, the network functions being represented by CORAL procedures and by hierarchical sets of subnetworks. Dynamic visual checks can be made of syst
For accurate and reliable automatic control the organisation of computer systems in aircraft and applications in other multi-task computer systems is more likely to be based on a number of "cooperative" computers in an integrated manner [1], than a main central computer. Such a cooperative design s
A minicomputer installation dedicated to c.a.d, is described. The economy and flexibility of such systems when incorporating comprehensive graphics facilities is stressed. Suitable operating systems are discussed, including an executive program to provide software simulation of three virtual compute
