Research Impact

Assesses the electric industry's standard communication protocol (utility communication architecture or UCA) to determine if the water industry should participate in the modification of UCA to include water applications that would allow different automatic control systems within water utilities (such as SCADA, Customer Information Systems, and real-time network models) and systems made by different manufacturers to exchange information. Completed in 1992. (Out of print)
