International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / With today’s rapidly shifting technology in the areas of networking, the Web, platform-independent software, and component technology, a paradigm shift will allow us to treat our telemetry systems as enterprise-wide solutions in the future. These technologies will revolutionize how we support all phases of telemetry data acquisition, processing, archiving, distribution, and display. This paper will explain how these changes affect systems designers, operators, and users. Specific technical areas of discussion include: § Technology adoption cycles § Object-oriented environments and component technologies § Database interconnectivity § Web-enabling concepts and implementations § Application servers § Database replication § Data warehousing § Embedded Web servers
