Role of the End user (2 of 2 slides)

The purposes of the GENOPT processors, "DECIDE", "CHANGE" and "SUPEROPT" are given two slides hence.

In several of the examples presented in this slide show the general-purpose computer program used to verify optimum designs obtained by GENOPT is called "STAGS".
