Version-controlled management of configuration data for Distributed Control Systems.

Currently the configuration changes in a DCS (Distributed Control System) cannot be completely and reliably “undone” leading to very expensive workflows where a system has to be restored using OS restore points or backups whenever a configuration change proves to be unwanted. It also means that it is impossible to predict and reason about the implications of configuration changes.

This thesis project aims to investigate possibilities of how to represent and store configuration data in a way that is decoupled from system behavior and from that, explore additional feature possibilities made possible from the proposed data management, such as undo/redo, branching, and difference management.

The master thesis requires good knowledge in software engineering in general and databases in particular. Functional programming experience is of value.
