Don Bartusiak, Chief Engineer, Process Control at ExxonMobil Research & Engineering, will present an exclusive talk about ExxonMobil's initiative regarding a standards-based, open, secure, interoperable process control architecture. Bartusiak will address the business problem that the world's largest publicly traded international oil and gas company is trying to solve and why ExxonMobil feels that existing ICS vendor approaches are not adequate to meet their needs.
He will also discuss the status of formulation of an end user, supplier, system integrator, and standards organization consortium that is underway with The Open Group.
