Our aim is to compare the effectiveness (i.e. design effort and controller quality) of automatic controller synthesis from closed loop formal specifications with that of manual controller design, followed by automatic verification. Our experimental results show that for industrial automation control systems, automatic synthesis is a viable and profitable (especially as far as design effort is concerned) alternative to manual design, followed by automatic verification. %R 10.1109/ASE.1999.802292 %U http://mclab.di.uniroma1.it/publications/papers/papers/Tronci1999.pdf %U https://doi.org/10.1109/ASE.1999.802292 %P 247-250
