Real Time Systems
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is very familiar with real-time
systems development, stretching back into the 60s and 70s. Today
the Lab is developing systems for both internal and external use.
Systems range from the high-profile efforts on the Chemical and
Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS-Block
II) being developed for the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological
Chemical Command to combat battlefield chemical and biological
weapons threats to the Personnel Accountability System (PASS)
This system is designed to account for personnel during an evacuation
or drill within 30 minutes or less in order to meet DOE requirements.
Pass has been deployed in Building 9212 at DOE's Y-12 Nuclear Weapons
Plant. The system provides the capability to quickly scan badges
of personnel during building drills and evacuations, compare that
information against the building entry information, and print exception
reports to account for personnel. A spin off of PASS is the work
for a government agency using RF technology. See EMAS. These systems
and others may be viewed at the links below.
We utilize an object-oriented approach to software development
in a highly productive development environment with software quality
assurance tailored to the needs of the project.
