Automation Language for Managing Operations

Automation Language for Managing Operations (ALMO) is a computer program that assists a human operator at a central control station in monitoring and controlling a complex equipment system that includes multiple subsystems connected in a digital communication network. Still undergoing development, ALMO is designed specifically for automating the operations of NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN). ALMO could be modified for use as control software in other applications that involve monitoring and control; examples include assembly lines, chemical-processing plants, and environmental management systems.
