Abstract
Current developments in the field of Computer Aided Control
Engineering (CACE) have a visible impact on the design
methodologies and the structure of the software tools supporting
them. Today control engineers has at their disposal libraries,
packages or programming environments that may be specifically
focused on a given phase or subsequent phases of the design cycle.
Moreover, different project teams are involved in particular
phases. This is why inter-operability of various software
components becomes a central problem.In this paper we try to
define requirements on design methodologies used in CACE enhancing
efficient flow of information between the tools supporting the
following phases of the design process. In principle, this flow
has to be two-way, and more or less automated, in order to enable
the engineer to observe the propagation of the particular design
decisions taken at various levels.The major conclusions of the
paper are related with identifying the factors affecting the
software tool integration in a way needed to facilitate design
"inter-phase" communication. These are: standard application
interfaces, dynamic data exchange mechanisms, code generation
techniques and general software architecture requirements.
