Abstract
The requirements on process monitoring and control are always increasing and, in relation to this, there is also an increase of the complexity of monitoring and control applications. Therefore advanced and more powerful concepts for monitoring and control systems are needed. The 32-bit-computer-generation (PCs, Workstations), standardized communication systems/networks as well as object-oriented modelling and programming are substantial elements in this field. The object oriented approach should be a general feature, so that the object oriented modelling of the application, the object oriented representation of the monitoring and control system and the object oriented design of the man-machine-interfaces (engineering, process control) are harmonized. In order to get this aim a large scope of design facilities can be used to establish the class tree, which is the basis for object oriented information processing. A system lay-out is discussed, in which real-time aspects are considered pa rticularly.
