Abstract :
New directions in the field of industrial control are evolving: large end user companies no longer specify standard off-the-shelf products for newly-designed control systems. Customized tools and products tailored to the specific needs of the application environment set new levels of achievements in cutting the costs of engineering tasks. This change in requirements results in new architectures for component-based software, which proves to be more flexible and easier to be adapted to specific needs.
