CADIS

CADIS is a transparently distributed system for decentralised acquisition of data (including preprocessing and data analysis support) and centralised synthesis of the decentrally acquired data. The data may be acquired from a large number of locations separated by large distances and collected automatically via WAN/ISDN by the central processing system which converts the data into the final format and archives the raw and the final data.

CADIS allows 24h-continuous operation due to its fault-tolerant capabilities and provides automatic reconfiguration and data update after occurrence of a failure or loss of a component, respectively. It allows full view on system activities across the network due to its transparent mechanism of distribution. By its access and logging capabilities it provides appropriate security mechanisms to protect the system from inadvertent operation.

The software can be configured to run on Sparc workstations and/or PCs according to customer needs. Solaris resp. GNU/Linux is used for the data processing and database part and Microsoft™ Windows® to provide an environment for a graphical user interface (GUI). In fact, there is a clear and safe separation between the highly reliable data processing part under UN*X and the GUI part under MS Windows.

All data and GUI functions can be transparently distributed over a (local or wide-area) network or may run on the same processor, if needed. A user can remotely control all functions in such a network like if he would have a local processor only.

This product has been developed with EaSySim II, the predecessor of ISG/ASaP.
