ISACS, an integrated surveillance and control system

Abstract

In this paper we report about application requirements and design principles used in the development of an integrated surveillance and control system, intended to be used by the operator of a nuclear power plant. The system, for its own nature, is an example of a class of applications normally referred to as critical applications, and involve the use of both expert system and database technologies in a real-time process control environment.
