A System for Interactive Design (SID) is a computer-aided visual facility for hierarchical (or recursive) design of complex systems. SID is built as a provision to make the potential of our graph theoretical design tool RGF (the recursive graph formalism) actually available to system designers. RGF, as we initially proposed in 1978, aimed at providing a logical basis for interactive design evolution from global to detailed, and/or from simple to complex. RGF was actually applied to designs of hospital information systems and petrochemical plants, and was proven useful for logically detecting and preventing human design errors and for computer-aided design evolution. SID includes the capabilities of SARA of UCLA and SADT of SofTech which are known as the system specification methodologies based on hierarchically structured graphs. Related works using similar graphs in other areas are H-graphs in language and automata theory, and DRLH in artificial intelligence.
