An Expert System Scenario for Computer-Aided Control Engineering

We propose using expert systems to create third-generation man/machine environments for Computer-Aided Control Engineering (CACE). We believe that this approach promises to provide a high-level design environment that is powerful, supportive, flexible, broad in scope, and readily accessible to non-expert users. This paper focuses on illustrating the capabilities of such an expert system via an extended transaction (sample interaction between the expert system and a user).
