This report was prepared at the request of the Hanford Site Security Applications Center (SAC) in conjunction with Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) at Albuquerque, New Mexico. An independent evaluation of software was requested for three Alarm Monitoring Systems (AMS) that were developed by SNL; the Security Alarm Control System (SACS), Safeguards Control and Communications System (SCCS), and Site-Independent Configurable Alarm Display System (SICADS). This report contains the results of the evaluation based on criteria established in DeLisle et al. (1988). The SICADS system was not thoroughly evaluated due to the unavailability of information at the time the evaluations were conducted. The evaluation consists of the results of studies by three different user types: operator, system engineer, and system analyst. The results are treated separately within this report. Each evaluator contributed unique experiences with operating, maintaining, and developing systems of a similar type and complexity. The evolutions are based on field experience, ``hands on`` exercising of the systems and modern industry accepted practices. 3 refs.
