| Abstract | In its first part, the paper intends to describe the main features of the already implemented automatic control and monitoring system from the University of Oradea, from the implementation point of view including aspects regarding the software and hardware. In the second part of the paper some future perspectives of this existing system will be outlined. Between these, there are some important directions in which we already start to work on. First, there are the modifications that we have done to the implemented system: these result after a period of almost two years of continuously running the system. Because the system is at this moment, unique in our country, another aspect regarding the future perspectives deals with the way in which it is used for training students from our university. However the system described in the paper turns the attention to tools and techniques that help us building such complex systems in a safe and secure way. |
