DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM SOFTWARE TO CONTROL AN ETHYLENE OXIDE MONITORING SYSTEM.
Master's Thesis, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
Government regulations require employers to monitor for harmful chemicals in the work place. Ethylene oxide is one such chemical, but a large number of other chemicals must also be monitored. Existing monitoring systems are targeted at a small range of chemicals or a single chemical. A system to monitor for a new chemical often requires development of a new system. This is expensive and increases the cost of the system. Reuse technology, currently used in numerous areas for rapid product development and for minimizing cost should be applied to the hazardous gas detection field. This thesis describes the development and implementation of software for a distributed system that controls a hazardous gas monitoring system capable of interfacing with multiple types of sensors. The prototype system was targeted at detection of ethylene oxide. Requirements were developed after reviewing existing monitoring systems, and determining desired additional functionality and reuse requirements. Specifications followed from the requirements. Software was designed from the specifications and then implemented and tested.
