Ashraf M., et al. in 2009 implemented the smart reservoirs
system using LabVIEW based Intranet SCADA which provided smart
controlling and data acquisition using private network as well as Internet as
a communication medium. Their main goal was to achieve a SCADA
system using LabVIEW graphical programming language. With the
network supported functions provided in LabVIEW, they succeeded in
developing an Intranet-SCADA System. Although they used a smart
reservoirs system for demonstration, the LabVIEW program which they
had developed was not limited to any specific application and in general,
could be used for any SCADA implementation [1 9 ].
Stoian I., et al. in 2010 intended to introduce a new concept of
federative SCADA systems based on cooperative systems, which assure
not only the functionally augmentation of individual systems by
integration, but ensure the global tasks of the federation as required by the
envelope model. They presented the concept, the structure of the
federation, the services offered and their analysis. The federation addressed
different technologies that could prospectively be exploited in order to
carry out the integration among several SCADA systems. The authors’
efforts were focused on elaborating certain strategies for all stand-alone
SCADA systems integration, providing an added value by sharing the
interoperability of the resulted enhanced-system to achieve the desired
overall system performance [ 20 ].
Haranath Y., et al. in 2010 proposed an efficient technique for
designing SCADA systems based on minimum spanning trees and the NFR
(Non-Functional Requirements) framework. Minimum spanning trees that
are formed when spanning trees are minimized based on a criterion such as
cost or length are natural candidates for SCADA control architectures. The
NFR framework is a qualitative framework that allows selection among
