Abstract

This paper reports on the work of CONSENSUS, a collaborative project funded by the United Kingdom Department of Trade and Industry Advanced Technology Programme. The project has produced a proven engineering method for developing large scale real-time systems with distributed intelligent components. The paper presents an overview of the method that has been developed and illustrates how it has been used to construct a large scale application in the area of air traffic control. The method has also been used to develop a dynamic tactical planning application that reacts to events as they arise, which is also briefly described in the paper.
