We offer the
following five
courses in the
field of SCADA
and Industrial
Networked Systems:
SCADA and industrial
networks are two
important, unique
areas of technology
developed in this
course. It focuses
on those aspects
of the subject
that are handled
differently in
the industrial
context, and shows
the student how
and why these
differences must
be respected.
This course deals
with the unique
requirements of
applying SCADA
and industrial
networking technology
to the oil and
gas industry.
It offers a workshop
format with problems
and case-studies
drawn from the
gathering, pipeline,
process and distribution
sectors of this
industry.
Developments in
the way we use
technology in
industrial environments,
and post 9/11
global realities
demand an informed
understanding
of the issues
that determine
the security of
our networks.
This course provides
students with
a comprehensive
understanding
of how to assess
the security of
existing systems,
and how to take
effective steps
to render them
acceptably secure.
This subject has
been a promising
component of this
industry for some
time, but has
largely failed
to meet expectations.
Recent trends
promise new opportunities
for the industry
to benefit from
the overwhelming
advantages that
fieldbus technology
offers.
Wireless technology
has undergone
remarkable change
in recent time.
Many of these
developments have
been motivated
to serve the consumer
market. This course
is designed to
offer a thorough
treatment of all
applicable wireless
technologies,
and leave students
with an effective
understanding
of why and how
each can be exploited
in their working
environments.
