This article is based on the results of the pre-project phase of the ODSA programme, during which the workplan for the programme has been developed and the programme marketed to a range of end-user organisations. The article first gives an overview of distributed processing, then outlines the case made to a number of target user organisations chosen from a variety of industry sectors for possible participation in ODSA. It concludes with a description of the nature of the proposed A-type projects.

Technological developments in the fields of robotics, intelligent manufacturing and automation continue to fall short of expectations and need. There is a requirement for an agreed framework or architecture for intelligent robotics systems, which will facilitate greater reusability and interoperability between intelligent robotics systems. This article reviews the requirements of such an architecture, and examines the functional and behavioural paradigms for intelligent robotic control. Research and development work on emergent architectural standards is described. - Author(s): P.J. Probert and R. Stamper

The size and complexity of robot controllers is such that it is impossible to predict their performance by conventional means. Debugging and system maintenance are major problems which have only partial solutions. In conjunction with careful structuring, we have used formal mathematical techniques (often known generically as formal methods) in designing the software architecture of a mobile robot controller to gain greater understanding of the system and to validate its expected performance. The impetus for this work is a major mobile robot project to provide sensory control in a factory application. In this article we assess the place of formal methods in the cycle of system development. - Author(s): N.D. Duffy and J.T. Herd

A societal architecture is one in which the overall operation of a system is achieved by many (a society of) agents. The application of this type of architecture to the control of a multi-sensor, multi-robot assembly workcell provides a structure in which the subsystems required to control collaborating robots equipped with sensing and error detection/correction capabilities can be integrated in a seamless manner. The architecture has been developed concurrently with a novel hardware system which will allow real-time operation to be achieved.

Hypertext may be the technology of the 1990s, just as expert systems were the technology of the 1980s. But is this good or bad news for hypertext? It is perhaps too early to say whether expert systems will be an enormous success or an obviously flawed attempt by engineers to dabble in psychology and philosophy. Will hypertext have similar mixed reviews 10 years from now? - Author(s): Alan M. Gordon

Many projects today contain software. Even those that do not contain software will rely on software for modelling, design calculations and other forms of computer-aided engineering. In addition, customers are asking for predictions of system reliability and guaranteed mean times between failures. While most engineers are familiar with hardware reliability predictions, if the system contains, or relies on, software it is necessary to be able to answer a customer's request for ‘software reliability’ figures.
