IT at JET – A Challenging Fusion Research Environment

Sverker Griph, Senior Software Engineer at MetaAgility Knowledge Engineering

Abstract

The fusion research environment at JET provides many IT challenges. A mission crictical real-time IT system – with high complexity and flexibility – needs to be sustained over decades, while subject to a high rate of change. These challenges are for example addressed by 
• selective adoption of and longterm ownership of IT standards,
• extensive use of data driven design,
• a pervasive use of IT engineering databases and
• an in-house high performance software component architecture.
