Distributed Computer Control Systems 1988: Proceedings of the Eighth IFAC Workshop, Vitznau, Switzerland, 13-15 September 1988

by M.G. Rodd (Series Editor)

Continuing the forward thinking of previously held distributed computer control systems meetings, this volume discusses both the positive and negative views on trends in OSI-based communications; the development of the fieldbus; the importance of the incorporation into basic real time operating systems to be used for distributed systems of concepts such as time-stamping and access to global time-bases; and the influence of artificial-intelligence-based technologies on the distributed computer control world.
