I think that you can get a lot of this information by carefully sifting the (no cost) literature provided by manufacturers of SCADA systems as part of their sales literature. To major companies doing SCADA stuff in the US are Intellution (sells software systems specifically designed for SCADA applications) and Motorola (has provided radio modems for many projects and may have had more complete involvement in other projects). The problem with Motorola is that they are so big that, unless you know who you want to talk to, it is sometimes hard to get to the right division of the company. I haven't done SCADA in a few years, so I don't have any current personal contacts to give you. I assume that you have tried a web search for 'SCADA' -- you might want to contact any system integrators or manufacturers you find that way.

I'll mention to you one good use for SCADA.

We heavily use SCADA to control off-shore oil wells platforms, where we have so many of them. It saves us money on manpower & time used for operating these platforms.
