Abstract
Nowadays, distributed Databases have taken concentration in the database research. Data distribution and replication offer opportunities for improving performance through parallel query execution and load balancing as well as increasing the availability of data. These opportunities have played a major role in motivating the design of the current generation of database machines. The purpose of this study is to propose an approach that absolutely increases the performance of real-time distributed data service. The centralized real time database is based on critical closed loop control system. To overcome this problem we proposed a model/ system called user control distributed database model which try to stimulate the overload transaction during run time. Therefore the present system will be a step towards fulfill the needs of critical conditions like overload or run-time errors in context of distributed database system.

Graphical System Design applications are the fastest spreading one in the field of
industrial environment. Over the decades monitoring of physical parameters in the industrial
environment is made easy with various sensors. Several softwares are used to monitor those physical
parameters. The objective of the work is to monitor the environmental temperature. The sensors that
are used to measure the physical parameters tend to give electrical output either in form of Voltage or
Current. In this paper current output is preferred for temperature conversions rather than the voltage
output as they tend to drop over the transmission line. The current output of Temperature/Humidity
sensor (THD Series) is converted into temperature in degree Celsius. The Real-Time environmental
parameters are acquired from Autonics Temperature/Humidity sensor using NI Compact DAQ
9174(cDAQ). A Graphical approach is developed in LabVIEW platform to monitor the environmental
temperature with the help of a PC.

This document summarizes research on the performance impact of black hole attacks on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) using different routing protocols. The researchers conducted simulations using OPNET to evaluate the effects of black hole attacks on network throughput, delay, and load under three routing protocols: AODV, OLSR, and DSR. With AODV, the presence of black hole attackers significantly reduced throughput and increased delay by discarding packets. OLSR was not significantly affected by attackers. With DSR, throughput increased over time with attackers due to increasing discarded packets. The research analyzed how black hole attacks degrade MANET performance depending on the routing protocol used.

This document analyzes stress relief features for reducing stresses at the root of spur gear teeth. It summarizes previous research on gear stresses and stress relief methods. A finite element analysis is conducted to evaluate stresses in a spur gear model with different stress relief feature configurations, including circular holes of varying size and location. The analysis found that two circular holes located at specific positions provided the greatest stress reduction of up to 15%, minimizing stresses at the root to increase fatigue life. Introducing multiple optimized stress relief features through computational modeling is an effective way to reduce gear tooth stresses and failure.
This document reviews different techniques for selecting web services for web service composition based on quality of service (QoS) requirements. It discusses four main approaches: 1) a composition requirement tree approach, 2) a selection process based on a mediator, 3) selection based on QoS value prediction, and 4) a tool framework for composite web services. It compares these approaches based on factors like what QoS criteria they consider, whether they can handle functionally equivalent and non-equivalent services, and if they utilize databases like UDDI for discovering services. The document concludes that the tool framework approach is best as it leverages UDDI and QoS brokers while also testing services.

Signal processing plays a significant role in building any condition monitoring system. Many types of signals can be used for condition monitoring of machines, such as vibration signals, as in this research; and processing these signals in an appropriate way is crucial in extracting the most salient features related to different fault types. A number of signal processing techniques can fulfil this purpose, and the nature of the captured signal is a significant factor in the selection of the appropriate technique. This chapter starts with a discussion of the proposed robot condition monitoring algorithm. Then, a consideration of the signal processing techniques which can be applied in condition monitoring is carried out to identify their advantages and disadvantages, from which the time-domain and discrete wavelet transform signal analysis are selected.

IRJET- Offline Location Detection and Accident Indication using Mobile SensorsIRJET Journal
Ā
This document presents a system for offline location detection and accident indication using mobile sensors. The system utilizes a smartphone's intrinsic sensors (accelerometer) to detect movement and determine if an accident has occurred. If an accident is detected, the location of the smartphone is obtained from satellites and sent via message to emergency contacts along with the location. The system aims to address issues with existing location tracking for accident victims by providing a more accurate location even when the phone is offline. It describes the system architecture, algorithms, and case studies evaluating sensor-based deployment algorithms for increasing coverage in wireless sensor networks. The proposed system could help provide timely assistance in emergency situations.
Sensor nodes are highly mobile, which makes the application running on them face network related problems like node failure, link failure, network level disconnection, scarcity of resources etc. Node failure and Network fault are need to be monitored continuously by supervising the network status especially for critical applications like Health Monitoring System. We propose Node Monitoring protocol (NMP) to monitor the node good conditions using agents and ensure that node gets promised quality of service. These Nodes senses environment and communicates important data to the sink or base station. To establish the correct event time, these nodes need to be synchronized with global clock. Therefore, time synchronization is very important parameter.

IRJET- IoT based Waste Management System and Attendance Monitoring of Workers...IRJET Journal
Ā
This document proposes an IoT-based smart dustbin system that can monitor garbage levels through sensors and provide attendance monitoring of workers. Each dustbin is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor to measure garbage levels and an RFID reader to monitor when workers empty the bin. The microcontroller in each bin sends this sensor data to the cloud database. Authorities can then access this data through a mobile application to track garbage levels across bins and worker attendance. The system aims to improve waste management efficiency compared to conventional manual monitoring methods.
IRJET- Optimal Strategy for Extraction of Traffic Based on PLCIRJET Journal
Ā
This document presents a system for optimizing traffic control at busy four-way intersections using a programmable logic controller (PLC). Sensors monitor vehicle density in each lane and the PLC uses this input to determine priority and automatically adjust light timing as needed. The PLC communicates with traffic lights and displays using RS-485 converters. When sensors detect heavier traffic in a lane, the PLC increases the green light time for that lane and decreases it for other lanes. This allows the system to dynamically optimize traffic flow based on real-time conditions.

It displays this data on an LCD panel and sends it to a central server. The system can detect issues like dry running, overloading, or short circuits and shut the motor down. It also integrates with a water level sensor to automatically stop the motor when the tank is full. The goal is to monitor motors in real-time, protect them from damage, and allow remote control via the internet.
Fuzzy controlled mine drainage system based on embedded systemIRJET Journal
Ā
This document proposes a fuzzy logic controlled mine drainage system based on an embedded system. Mines require proper drainage to improve stability, safety, and prevent equipment corrosion, but the variables involved like water levels and flow rates are unpredictable and non-linear, making an accurate empirical model difficult to design. The proposed system combines fuzzy logic control with an embedded system. Fuzzy logic handles the uncertainties while the embedded system provides better control, flexibility, compactness and user-friendliness. Sensors monitor water levels, flow rates, temperature, humidity and pressure, sending data to an operator. A fuzzy logic controller uses the sensor data and fuzzy rules to determine the number of pumps to operate, providing improved drainage control over traditional methods.

The need for power generation in India increases day by day due to various factors.
Nearly 70% of the power production is from the thermal power plants in various locations of the
country. Monitoring and control of these power plants at all times is a must, since these power
plants are operated continuously. Boiler is the major part of any thermal power plant. Hence
monitoring the boiler parameters such as temperature, pressure and humidity are of great
importance in power plant. It is not always possible for continuous monitoring in the plant
premises because of an unpleasant industrial environment. In this project it is proposed to
develop remote monitoring and control of boiler parameters using wireless communication. The
proposed method provides a complete solution for these constraints in remote monitoring by
using various sensors for temperature, pressure and humidity measurement. This method uses
Internet of Things (IoT) as the platform of communication. The proposed method also provides
an option for monitoring and control even in remote location in addition to the control room.
Internet of Things (IoT) will play a major role in the future concept of power plant integration.
The proposed method will suit and provide a start-up initiation for this future concept.

IRJET- Implementation of Automated Urban Drinking Water Supply and Leakage Id...IRJET Journal
Ā
This document describes a proposed system to automate urban drinking water supply and identify leaks using Programmable Logic Control (PLC) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). The system would minimize human error, reduce water wastage from leaks, theft and faults in pipes. Sensors would monitor water pressure and flows. PLCs would control pumps and valves locally, while a central SCADA system would allow remote monitoring and control. Data from sensors would be transmitted to the SCADA system via RTUs to identify leaks and optimize water distribution in real-time. This could help reduce supply costs and more efficiently match demand with a scarce water supply in urban areas of India.

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Abstract
This paper presents an agent-based
generic architecture for remote process
monitoring. It is based on the fact that every
process control system to be monitored can be
represented in the form of an Algorithmic State
machine (ASM) chart which is further
translated into a corresponding State Transition
Table (STT). By a little modification of the STT
the entire process control system is represented
as a succession of states each of which an agent
can process. Thus by storing a copy of that table
at the remote site and obtaining at each stage of
the monitored process a feedback, this feedback
information would serve as an index into the
remotely stored table to crosscheck the validity
of the feedback information with respect to each
stage of the monitored process. Classes 0
through 3 state monitoring agents were defined
depending on the number of qualifiers between
the states they monitor and the next states. A
process monitoring agent is also defined to
activate the state monitoring agents when their
services fall due and to further process their
outputs as required by the stakeholders
(manager, engineer, maintenance operator) in
the process being monitored. There are as many
state monitoring agents as there are states in the
ASM chart all coordinated by one process
monitoring agent. It is important to mention
that this remote monitoring approach can be
applied to any process even when the
corresponding process control system is not
agent based provided that a feedback is received
at every state of the process being monitored.
This agent based monitoring brings the
advantage of object oriented analysis and design
into the domain of industrial process monitoring
systems development.
Keywords: Remote monitoring, process
monitoring agents, state monitoring agents, real-
time data capture, Graphical User Interface (GUI).
I. Introduction
The need for mobility and convenience
often necessitates remote process monitoring and
control. In this information age, people are getting
used to using cell phones for various other
applications other than making calls. Today, cell
phones are used for anking transactions,
information download from the internet, social
network, environmental monitoring [1], and for
many forms of group collaboration, from the
convenience of oneās location. The process control
industries have begun to expect the same flexibility
when it comes to process monitoring and control.
For example, it is undesirable to force a
maintenance technician or engineer to be glued to
the VDU waiting for fault alerts. Today this is
better done by sending the person a text message
alert when oneās attention is needed or making use
of wearable personal computers [2]. In process
monitoring, it should be possible to reach any
stakeholder (technician, engineer, manager)
wirelessly and supply all necessary information
needed for appropriate decision making at oneās
level. Where a machine requires attention, this is
often indicated by sending bytes of code from the
process control wirelessly to any location
convenient to the person. However, management
information needs to be provided in an easy to
digest manner. Continuous remote monitoring of
the ongoing process followed by a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) near the user that depicts the exact
situation at the project site is desirable. It should
also be possible to store captured data on the
remote hard disk to permit playback or analysis of
any segment of information defined by the time
frame of interest [3]. The use of a Personal
Computer (PC) or laptop for a GUI permits the
presentation of the process information in a manner
most convenient to managers. This should enable
them make better management decisions.
This paper deals with real-time data
capture, multi-agent based process monitoring,
process management information and GUI.
II. Definition of state monitoring
agents
Using object oriented software
terminology; an agent is an object [4]. As an object
it has a class it belongs to. In this paper, four object
classes were recommended namely classes 0
through 3 [5]. A monitoring agent of class 0 makes
a transition from its present state to another state
without considering any qualifiers (fig 1a).
Typically this happens where

two state boxes in an ASM chart are in sequence
without any qualifier in between them. As shown in
figure 1a, if the control system is in the state STX it
must unconditionally transit to state STY when a
clock pulse occurs.
State monitoring agent class 1 monitors
transition from one state STX to one of two
alternative states (STY and STZ) depending on the
value of the
qualifier (Q say). This is shown in figure 1b. If the
process is in STX and the qualifier Q=0, the
process transits to state STY. However, if qualifier
Q=1, process transits to state STZ.
State monitoring agent class 2 has two qualifiers in
cascade and the agent in the present state has four
alternative link paths that determine the next state
monitoring agent to handover to fig 1c. Each of the
link paths may be selected depending on the values
of the qualifiers Q1 or Q2 say. For example, if the
present state is named ST0, the state monitoring
agent for ST0 would hand over to state ST1 if
Q1=0. It would still hand over to the state
monitoring agent for ST1 whether qualifier Q2 is 0
or 1. Therefore qualifier Q2 is said to be a donāt-
care. If however, Q1=1 then monitoring would be
transferred to state monitoring agent ST2 if Q2=0
and to state monitoring agent ST3 if Q2=1 these
transitions are shown in table 1a.

Note that a donāt-care combination translates to
two entries in table 1, the case when the donāt-care
is a 0 and when the donāt-care is a 1 [6]. However
both transitions are from state ST0 to state ST1
because of the donāt-care status of Q2.
State monitoring agent class 3 is required
for the condition where the present state is
separated from the alternative states by up to 3
qualifiers in cascade (Q1, Q2, Q3) fig 1d. The
transitions from the present state ST0 to each of the
alternative states is determined by the three
qualifiers Q1, Q2, Q3 as shown in table 1d. Note
that when Q1 is a zero, transition must be to agent
for state ST1 no matter what Q2 and Q3 are.
Similarly, when qualifier Q1=1 and Q2=0,
transition must be to state ST2 irrespective of the
value of ST3. The reason the fully expanded table
is used is to facilitate the use of a look up table by
the state monitoring agents which allows the
indexing of the tables using qualifiers.
In practice, the next state alternatives are
replaced by their state codes usually placed at the
top right hand corner of the state box they represent
rather than by their state names placed at the
bottom left hand corner [7]. However the state
names of the boxes are used in table 1 for the
convenience of the reader.
Although one could go on like this
defining agent classes 4, 5, 6 and so on, the
researcher did not consider this necessary because
the optimization technique developed in this
research allows on to limit the number of cascaded
qualifier to at most 3.
2.1. Main features of a monitoring agent
Each state monitoring agent has the
following features:
i. A color indicator (G, A, or R), G = Green,
A= Amber, and R= Red, to be used when
displaying for the manager to show him at
a glance whether there is cause to worry or
not. The color code (MgrColor) is
immediately followed by a LABEL that
describes what the system is doing at that
state.
ii. A maintenance string or text used to give
maintenance tip to the maintenance personnel
or operator should a fault occur at that state.
iii. Hexadecimal digits showing the state code,
qualifiers and the expected feedback byte for
that state when the qualifiers are as shown. The
expected feedback byte is compared with the
actual when displaying diagnostics for the
engineer at the bit-pattern level. Depending on
the state monitoring agent type, the
hexadecimal digits Vi can be
a. 1 byte long for class 0 monitoring agents-
no qualifier. (V0)
b. 2 bytes long for class 1 monitoring agents-
1 qualifier (q=0 or q=1) corresponding to
(V0, V1) respectively.
c. 4 bytes long for class 2 monitoring agents
ā 2 qualifiers (q1q2= 00, 01, 10 or 11)
corresponding to (V0, V1, V2, V3)
respectively and
d. 8 bytes long for class 3 monitoring agents-
3 qualifiers (q1 q2 q3= 000, 001, 010, 011,
100, 101, 110 or 111) corresponding to
(V0, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7)
respectively.
The features of the four classes of monitoring
agents are features diagrammatically in fig. 2a
through 2d.

2.2. Process monitoring agents
By nature, agents are autonomous among
other attributes [8]. Typically, the number of agents
required to monitor a process represented as an
ASM chart is equal to the number of states in that
ASM chart. To allow that number of agents to have
full autonomy may cause a loss of control in the
system especially if something goes wrong with
one or more of the agents [9][10]. Therefore the
researcher has introduced the concept of process
monitoring agents, where a process monitoring
agent co-ordinates the activities of all the state
monitoring agents in the same ASM chart. Recall
that an ASM chart typically specifies a state
machine in charge of a control process.
Thus, a process monitoring agent obtains
the inputs from the process being monitored via
feedback, extracts the present state code, activates
the corresponding state monitoring agent and
supplies it with the values of the qualifiers in use.
The activated state monitoring agent would then
produce an expected output pattern to be compared
with the actual feedback received. The state
monitoring agent could also release the feedback
information contained in the manager string or
maintenance string. The information supplied by a
state monitoring agent can either apply to the
engineer (engr), the manager (mgr) or the
maintenance personnel (mtce) depending on the
setting of three radio buttons as shown in figure 3.
Fig. 3: radio buttons for selecting user specific
information
When the activated state monitoring agent
finishes its assignment, it deactivates itself or
sleeps until it is activated again by the process
monitoring agent. No state monitoring agent that is
not activated by the process monitoring agent
would function. The process monitoring agent uses
this fact to activate the state monitoring agents one
at a time depending on the feedback information
received from the control system.
III. The Graphical User Interface (GUI)
This is a visual aid to the operator,
manager or engineer to enable them understand at
the remote end how the process under control is
progressing dynamically. Certain forms of GUI that
depict the process progress in a way that the end
users are familiar with are preferred. These include:
a. State Transition Table (STT) based
analysis of process progress.
b. Bar charts that rise and fall in line with
process progress with a unique colour for
each state in the process.
c. The ASM chart of the process under
monitor which is animated with the state
code and qualifier bit pattern. In this case,
the colour of the active state box changes
from state to state as the process
progresses. Similarly, the active qualifiers
and the link path their logic values
recommend are highlighted in colours as
the process progresses.
d. It is also possible to have a combination of
the bar chart followed on the side by
appropriate decision boxes and their link
paths.
It is important to note that where the process cycle
is too fast for the human eye to follow, the
monitoring software may deliberately lag behind
the process if desired. In this case, all the necessary
data capture is made but the play back in the GUI is
made to follow the pace the human eye can track
for the benefit of the users. This is especially useful
when carefully analyzing relevant segments of the
data capture in order to locate anomaly.
A radio button is provided on the screen of the GUI
permitting a user to select one of three possible
display types, namely:
a. Display for manager: contains colour bar
and its label showing what happens at that
state. Three colours are used: green, amber and
red. Green implies normal operation, amber
means that automated test is being done that
could fail, red implies a more serious
condition, perhaps waiting for an operator
input that has failed to come so far.
b. Display for operator or maintenance
personnel: a maintenance error correction tip
which if not successful would require the
attention of the engineer.
c. Display for engineer uses bit pattern level
to depict process output that did not match
expectation.
IV. Steps in SMS to database software
subsystem
The steps in SMS to Database software
subsystem include:
1. Feedback interrupt (FB-INT) from SMS
interface
2. Get feedback from SMS interface
3. Append date and time
4. Store in the database for feedback

Fig 5 shows the flowchart for feedback
data capture from the process under control. Each
feedback record has date and time of arrival
appended to it before storage in the feedback
database. The process controller transfers feedback
data from the project site to the remote station via
SMS. The SMS-to-database software subsystem is
interrupted whenever a new feedback arrives so
that the feedback can be collected and stored (as in
table 2) for further processing.

Fig 6 shows the real time process tracking software
flowchart. It uses the radio button to determine if the
feedback is to be displayed for the manager, operator
(or maintenance personnel) or for the engineer. The
corresponding software captures feedback from an
ongoing process and displays it for the relevant
person as soon as it is received. The data can also be
sent to the handset of the person intended, for greater
convenience.

a. Display for manager
b. Display for operator or maintenance
personnel
c. Display for the engineer
at the graphical user interface. The user has the
opportunity to indicate how fast he or she wants
the playback to be: real-life, slow motion or
single step.
The remote process monitoring agent either
activates the tracking software or the playback
software depending on user choice. It then reads
feedback data from the feedback database one record
at a time and displays same on the GUI in a manner
suggested by the setting of a set of 3 radio buttons of
which only one may be active of any
given (see radio button definitions as part of fig 3). If
the setting is for manager, the process monitor
displays the feedback for manager. If the setting is
for maintenance, the process monitor displays for the
maintenance personnel or operator. If the setting is
for the engineer, the process monitor displays
diagnostic details to aid the engineer. The display
setting via the radio buttons can be changed on the
fly. The remote process monitor checks the radio
button from record to record and uses the current
setting for each record.
Typically, the manger, the engineer and the
maintenance personnel are at different locations in
the company. Each would have his or her own laptop
or PC for monitoring. The same monitoring software
runs on each of their machines but displays for each
what his or her functionality demands. This is a great
advantage in decision making.
V. Real Time Process Control Example
An industrial process example shall be used
here to showcase remote process monitoring
employing the Algorithmic State Machine (ASM
chart) chart approach. Consider a tank used in the oil
refinery industry (fig. 8) which contains both oil and
water. The oil which is of lesser density is above the
water. The oil/water interface level at any point in
time is monitored.
At the lower threshold level (LTH) the oil/water
interface is considered too low. Therefore, water is
pumped into the enclosure via the valve HV1 until
the oil/water interface rises to middle (MDL)
position. Thereafter, the dynamics of the process is
allowed to take over and freely move oil/water
interface up or down as determined by on-going
processes.
At the upper threshold level (UTH) the
oil/water interface is considered too high. So water is
pumped out of the enclosure via HV2 until the
oil/water interface falls to MDL. Thereafter the
dynamics of the process is allowed to take over and
freely move oil/water interface up/down as
determined by the on-going processes.
At the threshold points (LTH and UTH), an
alarm sounds to indicate unwanted condition. The
alarm for oil/water interface too low sounds different
from the alarm for oil/water interface too high. Both
alarms would sound for 20 seconds and automatically
stop. A red light indicator is used alongside the
audible alarm to indicate UTH alarm while amber is
used to indicate the LTH alarm. Green light indicator
shows that the interface level is OKAY i.e. between
LTH and UTH.
The algorithmic state machine chart
representing the process of fig. 8 is shown in fig 9. At
the decision boxes for LTH, UTH and MDL in the
diagram, 0 represents water while 1 represents oil.
The modified State Transition Table (STT), table 5,
represents the information on the ASM chart (fig 9).
This is then used to implement the oil/water level
monitoring and control system as shown in fig. 10.

When a process control system is designed
using the algorithmic state machine chart approach, it
is often easier to represent a lot of information with
just one byte of code and a table look-up technique.
For example, in a state transition table (STT) (table
3), the present state code is concatenated with the
qualifiers to form an address when the next state of
the machine, the outputs for the present state and the
conditional outputs are stored. Therefore, the table
containing the next state code, state output and
conditional output is stored at the remote site and the
input byte (present state and qualifiers) and output
byte (next state code and outputs) are captured from
the project site and sent to the remote site every
machine cycle. The address part of the feedback
serves as an index into the table stored at the remote
site to give fuller meaning to the present status of the
machine.
For example, if the received code from the
process side is 00 for BA and 100 for LTH, MDL and
UTH (see first row of STT of table 3), this
concatenated information reveals that the next state
would be 10 for Bā²Aā². The state output shows that the
process is in its normal condition (i.e. OKAY) and
the outputs from HV1 to HV2 are all at logic 0. This
conveys clear concise information to the person at the
remote end. Similarly, each concatenation of BA,
LTH, MDL and UTH forms a code which points to a
specific entry in table 3. Thus by arranging for such a
code to be transmitted to the remote site along with
the actual output byte for every machine cycle, it is
possible to track the exact behavior of the process
under control at the remote site. The data captured
can be stored in the hard disk for future analysis of
the process progress.
Fig 10 shows the block diagram
implementation of the agent-based remote monitoring
system used to monitor the for the oil/water interface
control process. The process monitoring agent houses
the process tracking software (of fig 6) and the
process playback software (fig 7). When data is
received from the remote site via the phone, the
information is stored in the hard disk via the software
data capture system whose flowchart is shown in fig.

The process monitoring agent tracks the
supplied information and sends it to the
corresponding state monitoring agent to process.
The state monitoring agent responds to the process
monitoring agent and the information received is
displayed on the GUI by the process monitoring
agents for the stakeholders to view. It should be
noted that these events happen fast as such one can
choose to select the speed at which to view the
information and also what time frame to view.
VI. Conclusion
Multi-agent based remote process
monitoring has been ex-rayed in the foregoing. The
method is generic and is not limited to monitoring
agent-based process control systems. Other process
control systems designed using any other method
can be monitored using this method, except that the
ASM chart and the modified STT must be provided
to aid the design of the agent monitoring system.
Again, this monitoring system is peculiar because
of the way information is specified for all the
personnel for easy viewing and understanding.
