Additional interest might be found in CIP-001-1 thru CIP-009-1 found at <http://www.nerc.com/~filez/standards/Reliability_Standards_Regulatory_Approved.html> It would be great if Plan 9 was running on some of these embedded devices or in the control room in a monitoring and control role but it seems like VxWorks/Windows/Linux is too popular. I will tell you this: There is money to be made in this SCADA sector and since it's all still semi-proprietary, people are used to forklift upgrades and don't care as much about preserving the platform. Utility related GIS systems are another fertile ground. I wince when I see the invoices. ~JasonG --
