✦ Synopsis

In this paper, a survey is given of the development and use of interactive computer packages for education and research in the field of control engineering, signal analysis and parameter estimation. Relevant aspects are: aims and goals of the package, its design and structure, the interaction, the development of the software, the necessary hardware, the educational aspects, the contents of.lhe package and possible future developments.

2. PURPOSES, AIMS AND MOTIVATIONS OF INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS

There are several converging reasons for constructing an interactive system. Most of them are valid for the majority of systems that have been developed.

Control theory

A. To instruct students in aspects of modern control theory that need the use of a computer. B. To create a library facility for control software and provide a means by which results of one program can be used or analyzed by another.
