Abstract :
The effective development of intelligent process controllers of high complexity relies deeply on integration issues. CORBA technology offers a good infrastructure for complex controller integration and deployment. Integrability of heterogeneous technologies (like neural networks or expert systems), distributed nature of large plant controllers, modularized designs or construction and deployment are addressed effectively by means of distributed object computing. We show our developments in this area of integration middleware for intelligent process control. They are mostly related with the developments done in the ESPRIT DIXIT Project
