Abstract
This chapter describes an approach to writing requirements specifications for Internet-based control systems and to deriving architectures for this new type of control system according to the requirements specification. The specification is described in terms of a functional model and then extended into an information architecture. Distinct from the functional model, the information architecture gives an indication regarding the architecture of the Internet-based control systems. An integrated–distributed architecture has been derived as an ideal implementation, in which the control system is linked with the Internet at all levels in the control system hierarchy.
