At the time this was conceived, the people who had the thing closest to
what we wanted were folks selling design tools for electronic circuits.
Early work we did here was based on an outside tool wherein we defined
parts & then "compiled" the diagrams based on the internal format for
storing the diagrams. This tool eventually gave way to one that was
entirely home grown by one of our sister-organizations, Hamilton
Standard.
I have not looked at any commercial tools recently since my involvement
in the project is now more one of "end user" rather than "developer"
(Everyone should be forced to do this at least once! ;-) There may be
something out there which would fit the bill, but the requirements are
that it support what our logic designers are used to (sort of) - control
laws diagrams. (we also support a general flowchart-ish format). For new
projects, it might be possible to undertake some whole new format of
diagram, but it would have to support the kind of things that logic
designers do. (I'm also getting too old and cranky to try to once again
start pleading with them to try something new!)
The real value of the tool was that we took diagrams which the designers
were going to draw anyway and formalized it enough that code could be
automatically produced from the diagrams. That and being able to
configuration manage/change control the whole thing meant substantial
automation of an otherwise labor intensive process.
