Cooperative Operating Control Based on Virtual Resources and User-Suited HCI

The paper presents concept of virtual resources (VR) which improve multilevel, remote Internet-based operation of real-time controlled industrial processes. In comparison to classical directly connected-to-plant operations, the VR-based system introduces all typical features of its flexible nature, hiding the unnecessary implementation details from the process operators. The user-suited, human-computer interfaces (HCI) improve cooperation between specialists who must carry out operating control of the process. Realisation of such a system is based on the concept of maximal usage of particular specialist's skills improving theirs cooperation. Although the proposed concept is dedicated to remote operating experimentation on real-time controlled industrial plants, it has also a more general aspect. As a case example, the cooperative operating control of a biotechnological pilot-plant is presented.
