Notes:
Describes the development of an integrated computer-based system (PROTECT) to aid the design of complex fire protection systems. Explains how PROTECT, developed through the application of object-oriented technology (OOT), comprises a series of knowledge bases for specific protection environments and is integrated with other business systems. PROTECT enables the optimal design of fire protection systems to specified standards and the accurate estimation of system cost. Presents software development issues, and discusses system operational results and benefits of the PROTECT.
