Event Description


The advancement of computer, telecommunication, and internet technologies during the last 20 years has fundamentally shifted the focus of the expertise in control systems technologies. With a very limited systematic and focused training in place, control systems and corporate enterprise IT personnel are facing numerous challenges to develop, select, utilize, and maintain reliable systems. The primary objective of this seminar is to allow various stakeholders of SCADA and industrial IoT systems to learn more about the fundamentals of these technologies and how they can be integrated into the corporate IT networks.
