Description
This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the
second European workshop EUROCAST '91, held in Krems,
Austria, in April 1991. It gives an overview of the current
state of Computer Aided Systems Theory research and its
relation to CAD applications in the engineering fields.
CAST research requires the application of the most advanced
information processing technology in software and hardware
for the implementation of CAST method base systems.
Engineers in the field of information and control
engineering have the opportunity in CAST to present the
state ofthe art in modeling tools to computer scientists.
EUROCAST '91 proved that CAST research is still in an early
state of development.
The papers in the volume are organized into sections on
systems theory and CAST methodology, modeling environments,
CAST method base systems and artificial vision, and
information and control systems.
