Abstract :
Current computer aided control system design environments seldom support optimization methods for controller design in a truly interactive manner. A prototype tool, called PARSIM, supporting parallel processing, optimization and a graphical user interface is presented addressing many of the problems inherent in current approaches to multiobjective optimization based design methods. An XWindows interface is used to simplify problem formulation and control the optimization processes. Using a previously developed interface, the computational burden may be alleviated by parallel processing
