MDS STATE DATABASE

The MDS State Database tool is a web-based collaborative design tool that facilitates the State Analysis design process. The interactive user interface guides the system engineer through the process of defining state variables, their effects on other states, models for their physics and control, and the specification of associated goals.

The tools include a web-based user interface to a back-end database that records descriptions of control system elements and their relationships with one another according to the attributes relevant to control system implementation. The tool's web interface supports distributed user interaction and collaboration.
