Abstract
A method of automatically creating control sequence software required for a machine system controlled by a computer includes four algorithms, that is, 'derivation of control sequence specification'.fwdarw.'derivation of a qualitative control sequence'.fwdarw.'addition of quantitative information (derivation of a quantitative control sequence)'.fwdarw.'generation of a C program'. The qualitative control sequence is a state transition matrix following the time sequence. This qualitative control sequence is derived by making use of a qualitative inference system. A quantitative control sequence is obtained by adding quantitative time between states to the qualitative control sequence. Time information is calculated on the basis of design information of a machine portion stored in a design information database. As a result, it is possible to reduce the manual burden on the software development by using the present invention.
