Examples of IACSs include. Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. ISA914 62443-2-4 also defines the
The taxonomy of control mechanisms differentiates between applicability, defining to which problems and under which circumstances a certain mechanism can be applied, implementation defining how the mechanism is implemented, and non-functional properties such as costs and performance.
Classification of computer architectures
Duncan's taxonomy is a classification of computer architectures, proposed by Ralph Duncan in 1990.
Duncan suggested modifications to Flynn's taxonomy to include pipelined vector processes.
Classification of computer architectures
Flynn's taxonomy is a classification of computer architectures, proposed by Michael J.
Flynn in 1966 and extended in 1972.
The classification system has stuck, and it has been used as a tool in the design of modern processors and their functionalities.
Since the rise of multiprocessing central processing units (CPUs), a multiprogramming context has evolved as an extension of the classification system.
Vector processing, covered by Duncan's taxonomy, is missing from Flynn's work because the Cray-1 was released in 1977: Flynn's second paper was published in 1972.
