A distributed CAD system for control system design

The authors discuss a new type of CAD (computer-aided design) system for control system design based on a distributed system which uses several computers by a computer network environment. MVC (model view controller) models are also available in the distributed system for event-driven programming. Using these environments, one can develop excellent CAD systems which serve the flexible programming environment and extension capability and allow one to use a lot of hardware and software resources in several computers. The authors explain the concept of the distributed system and the developing environment for the network and the MVC model. A calculation package named La++ written in C++ is introduced. The outline of a distributed system for control system design is shown.<
