Over the decades, all across the world and across industries, important rooms have been built, stuffed full of equipment to provide essential controls to monitor and manage complex facilities. These rooms have been designated as "control rooms." The control room is a place where information is gathered and displayed; in some cases, automated systems perform control functions based on this information, and operators use the information and the controls to take additional control actions. For example, every airplane has a control room where the pilots sit and control the aircraft. NASA's control rooms are iconic, as captured in photographs of people gathered in large rooms, sitting at different computers, all wearing headsets, coordinating, and presumably watching a rocket launch. Independent System Operating organizations for large electric power grids have similar control rooms. Power plants, be they natural gas plants, solar plants, wind farms, or nuclear power plants, all have control rooms. Throughout time, these control rooms have been filled with different pieces of equipment and operated using unique protocols reflecting what needed to be accomplished to control the facility, whatever it may be. Additionally, these control rooms represent centralized locations where all controls and operations come together. Like many other segments of society, control rooms have evolved over the past several decades with technological advancements
