Abstract
A large-scale, collaborative, industrial research project has recently implemented a state-of-the-art distributed platform to support the integration of supervisory control systems for the process and manufacturing industries. This platform is distinct in that its internals are entirely object based and provide a complete abstract specification for the system configuration which can be manipulated dynamically through a range of programming interfaces. This paper discusses the approach taken and outlines some features of one recent research prototype
