The goal of this paper is to present a framework architecture supporting the development of Supervision and Control systems on top of CORBA. We describe a collection of such frameworks as suitable CORBA domains. We designed it and we are currently implementing it within a joint european project. We also defined a complete development method exploiting the architecture and we are developing a few prototype applications.

In order to meet demands in the context of Technical Information Systems (TIS) pertaining to reliability, extensibility, maintainability, etc., we have developed an architectural framework with accompanying methodological guidelines for designing such systems. With the framework, we aim at complex multiapplication information systems using a repository to share data among applications. The framework proposes to keep a strict separation between Man-Machine-Interface and Model data, and provides design and implementation support to do this effectively. The framework and methodological guidelines have been developed in the context of the ESPRIT project IMPRESS. The project also provided for "testing grounds" in the form of a TIS for the Spanish Electricity company Iberdrola.
