✦ Synopsis

We develop computational mechanisms for intelligently simulating nonlinear control systems. These mechanisms enhance numerical simulations with deep domain knowledge of dynamical systems theory and control theory, a qualitative phase-space representation of dynamical systems, symbolic and geometric manipulation capabilities, and a high-level interface. Programs equipped with these capabilities are able to autonomously simulate a dynamical system, analyze the simulation results, and utilize the analysis to perform design tasks. We demonstrate the mechanisms with an implemented computational environment called the Control Engineer's Workbench.
