Architectural Foundations, Concepts and Methods Behind ISACS — A Real-Time Intelligent System for Critical Applications

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Dependable Computing and Fault-Tolerant Systems ((DEPENDABLECOMP,volume 6))

Abstract

In this paper we report about application requirements, design principles and methodologies used in the development of an integrated intelligent support 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. Dependability is a key requirement for the system.
