The process measurement data need to be acquired at great speed, organized in time series and made available for time-based retrieval. Active capabilities and functional extensibility are needed to implement a flexible data-driven processing paradigm. An efficient transaction logging and recovery mechanism is needed in order not to impede the data acquisition flow.
Intelligent models used in process monitoring have to be extracted form process data.
The Modus project addresses all of the above issues. The project started in February 1999 and will contunue until the begining of 2002.
