SAPS-II: A NEW IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEMS APPROACH PROBLEM SOLVER

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a reimplementation of the Systems Approach Problem Solver that was originally designed and implemented by H. J. J. Uyttenhove.1,2 In this reimplementation, emphasis was put on a clean and flexible user interface that allows the user to conveniently combine several of the SAPS basic operations for solving more complex problems. SAPS-II3 was implemented as a toolbox (function library) within the framework of the CTRL-C program,4 an interactive matrix manipulation language developed originally for computer-aided control system design, and enhanced later for other purposes such as signal analysis and statistical operations.5,6 From the point of view of the CTRL-C software, the SAPS-II library can be viewed as yet another enhancement for the purpose of systems analysis and synthesis. From the point of view of the SAPS-II software, CTRL-C can be viewed as a software shell for convenient embedding of the SAPS algorithms.
