Control of Heterogeneus Automation Systems

A project supported by the European Commission
under the 7th Framework Programme
ICT-2007.3.7 Network embedded and control systems


01.09.2008 — 31.08.2011

FINAL REVIEW MEETING, Viano (Italy), September 21-23, 2011

Final Meeting


Scalability, reconfigurability, and security are three aspects of paramount importance in developing efficient, predictable, and safe control architectures for large-scale networked industrial automation.
At present, the state of control systems technology is such that the supervision and control of larger and more complex plants cannot be achieved without considerable costs in terms of hard infrastructure and software development.

CHAT is a research project exploring the research and engineering challenges inherent in the development of algorithms, protocols and procedures for next generation distributed control systems, in order to drastically reducing infrastructure, maintenance and reconfiguration costs.
