      abstract = {Throughout the years since the advent of the electronic  computer, the speed of processing and availability of  memory have increased at a consistent rate in line with the  perception of ‘Moore’s Law’, that the  number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two  years though the cost of computers is halved.<br>
As this  availability of computing power has increased, as has the  desire of engineers to monitor, record and analyse  increasing aspects of equipment. This desire has led to  increasingly complex monitoring and recording systems, with  increasingly complex control system to attempt to analyse  and present this information in a useful manner.<br>
The  systems that perform this function have become increasingly  complex, and with the complexity come cost, and programme  risk, with these systems now approaching or on the critical  path. These systems now combine many functions including:  providing indication to an operator, recording data for  incident analysis, tracking data for maintainers, providing  condition assessments, automated control of functions, and  now approaching full automated control of the entire  platform.<br>
With the relentless progression towards ever  bigger data, what should the intelligence and control  system of the future look like? This paper seeks to explore  the options that may be, or become, available in regard to  how the hardware is selected and configured: how data is  collected, sorted and prioritised: how security and  integrity of data is embedded; how the requirements of data  integrity and security are met without imposing the most  demanding requirements on all elements.<br>
While a  definitive answer is unlikely to exist, the issues are  becoming more well-known and the impacts keenly felt across  our industry.},
