GIS/FIS development for the SSC
Throughout all phases of the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL) project life decisions will be made on how to manage complex interactions of components, systems, and people with each other and with their environment at both micro and macro scales. The SSC has a distinct advantage compared to other large projects constructed and operated in the past, for even in the early phases scientists and engineers can use computer technology to provide faster computation and better modeling capability to resolve conflict and to make design, construction, and installation decisions. Computer systems today let us go beyond just making pictures of the components and objects under consideration. Not only can we know what objects look like, but we can visualize what and where they are, how they fit together to make networks, and how the networks relate to other types of objects and networks. Two such computer-based systems that relate object position and attributes to one another are Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Facility Information Systems (FIS).
