โฆ Synopsis
CAPICS, Computer Aided Processing of Industrial Cabling Systems, is a program package which designs, takes-off materials and plans the cabling of any plant. The article describes the design suite of the package.
The production of cable schedules for industrial plants con: taining more than 200 power cables is both a tedious and repetitive job, and one based upon rule-of-thumb methods of design. The Electrical Research Association* has now completed a program suite to produce such design schedules. The programs are based on approved methods of calculation, and are capable of being run on data prepared by technical labour of draughtsman standard.

This note expounds a philosophy of engineering design which is stimulated, guided and checked by mathematical calculations and proofs. Its application to software engineering promises the same benefits as those derived from the use of mathematics in all other branches of modem science.
A brief review of the history of computer aided control system design (CACSD) is followed by a description of the design functions which must be included in the software. Current trends are then discussed, followed by a description of some research activities in the field. Factors influencing R and
