Application of autonomous decentralized system to the steel production computer control

In recent years, computer systems for information management and control have requirements for high reliable systems. Consequently hardware reliability has been highly increased, but system failures caused by failure of software modification or software function expansion have been increased. Therefore, online software maintainability and expandability is highly required to fulfil the requirements of fault tolerance. In this paper, the new system architecture fulfilling the above needs called autonomous decentralized system is explained and its application to the real time steel production computer control systems is also presented.<
