Abstract
The personal experience out of which this project grew can be described in very few words. From about 1968, in collaboration with colleagues, I had been developing a theory, and a large software package, which would allow the computer-aided design (CAD) of control systems. The aim was to give the designer a more powerful tool to aid him in his work: a computer with graphic display and interactive conversational working, rather than paper and pencil and slide-rule. Our approach at that time was not a question of principle, but arose from previous industrial experience and our intention to use the methods we developed for our own purposes.
