- Title
Picles™: A Simulator for "Virtual World" Education and Training in Process Dynamics and Control.
- Authors
Cooper, Douglas J.
- Abstract
Picles™, the Process Identification and Control Loop Explorer System, is IBM-PC-compatible software now being used in process dynamics and control courses around the world. Picles is an easy-to-use training simulator that provides hands-on experience to those studying this often abstract and mathematic subject. Picles contains a number of real-world processes and controller algorithms, animated in color-graphic display, for exploration and learning. One big contribution this software makes to the educational process is that Picles provides a convenient means for exploring real-world applications of a broad range of theoretical concepts. Such hands-on reinforcement of theory creates a learning environment never before possible for this subject.
