Since 1985 at Setif University, Algeria, the author has initiated and worked on a project which was aimed at the development of a CACSD System. The results of the CASCIDA project (Computer Aided Systems Control for Interactive Design and Analysis) are briefly described. More importantly and over the years, this project laid down the basis for, and the nurturing of, a whole intellectual environment by trying to bridge the gap between several fields and paradigms not necessarily stemming from main-stream-CACSD such as expert systems and advanced statistical techniques. This paper, while raising some of the issues as related to the developed packages described, also draws the attention to interactions between the components of this novel intellectual environment. Work is now carried out between Setif University and Universite-Pierre-et-Marie-Curie Paris-6, Laboratoire d'lnformatique Fondamentale, Paris, France, where artificial intelligence methodologies are being investigated in conjunction with the development of a new generation of CACSD. Special reference is given to the interface between expert systems and adaptive control of robotic manipulators.<>

Two current trends in the computer industry are towards open systems and object-oriented methods. The relevance and significance of these for computer-aided control system design are examined. It is observed that, compared with computer-aided software engineering, there is no open system policy and a lack of design environments. A variation on the open environment for computer-aided software engineering, based on a service-oriented framework and tools, is proposed to rectify the situation, and a reference model is given. The fundamentals of object-oriented methods are described, and their impact on each part of the proposed environment is considered. It is concluded that the combination of an open environment and object-oriented methods gives an opportunity for progress in computer-aided control system design that needs to be grasped if the world-wide control community is to benefit.<>

The use of fault-tolerance has increasingly become an important requirement for power plant control because of safety and availability considerations. Typical applications in process control employ redundant hardware for data acquisition and processing. The primary objective is to maintain the operation of the plant, even in the presence of anomalies in instrument channels. The performance of a system with existing hardware can be improved by the additional design of diverse, digital control systems in the form of software redundancy. This design has been integrated with signal and command validation with option for manual and automatic control through a graphical user interface. The fault-tolerant design has been demonstrated with application to the steam generator system control in a pressurized water reactor plant.<>
