Decision making is crucial for the life of many production plants. Good decision need the right information at the right time, and a deep knowledge of the system. This is especially true for older plants that are more prone to failures. Unfortunately, these systems are less rich of monitoring and diagnostics instrumentation, because of their seniority. When the maintenance service is carried ou...

The French Air Traffic Control is based on an automated system referred to as CAUTRA (Coordinateur AUtomatisé du Trafic Aérien). The CAUTRA is implemented on a distributed fault-tolerant computing system installed on five enroute traffic control centers and one centralized operating center, that are connected through an aeronautical telecommunication network. The CAUTRA mission is to provide co...
