Perceptual Control Tools

NTT Systems built two different simulators for simulating perceptual control networks. Eventually, these two simulators will be merged into a single PCT simulation system. Both are written in the Prograph language.

Perceptual Control Builder

The Perceptual Control Builder allows the user to build simple PCT networks with a user-friendly interface, and see the results on a graph. It comes with a basic Primer, developed by W.T. Powers, that teaches some elementary concepts of control theory. The following is an example of one such network being run:

Statistical Control Builder

This simulator, while lacking the tools shown above for dealing with each control unit individually, is better suited for research on large networks where it is not practical to build each unit separately. The Statistical Control Builder allows the user to specify sub-nets with large numbers of units, whose characteristics follow certain statistics set by the user. Below is an example of the statistics for one subnet.

The Statistical Control builder uses NTT System's Graph classes for Prograph and our MVC development system.
