The current system, referred to as CORMS I, provides quality control of sensors and data for discrete 6-minute samples. The availability, accuracy, and quality of CORMS I data is for the most recent 6-minute sample. When completed and fully operational, the system proposed in this plan, CORMS n, will provide more robust, complete and synthesized information to the watch standing personnel in the form of guidance or directives based upon the current and historical data. This synthesizing of data and information and resulting “instructions” for the watch standing personnel will be possible through the use of a rule-based software approach. The benefits will be (1) to monitor more sites/systems without compromising quality; (2) to make better decisions based on information that has already been summarized and mapped against existing rules and directives; and (3) to ensure more consistent actions and/or non-actions are taken by the watch standing personnel.
