The new developments in computer hardware and software enables the development of new and enhanced tools and methodologies. Through analysis of the design process of control systems, the institute does research in new data techniques with high support of the user in 'integrated design' and in iteration in constructing processes. The work is centered on the analysis of control system design process.
Special attention is given to the iterative nature of the design process.
Several models of the design process has been investigated and new developed. This has lead to the identification of several areas where currently available tools lack capabilities. Implementation of device and system independent controller software . An adaptive system has been implemented. Symbolic manipulation and representation in controller design .
