Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach for the specification of control engineering software. The proposal is based on software engineering techniques which have improved the performance and quality of software processes. Some of the best practices for the building of software products are included. An example of the proposal is given for the requirements specification of the 1992 ACC robust control benchmark.
