Help - at a loss for presentation

Hi all,

I am assigned a task to do a presentation on Ship's Alarm Control and Monitoring System (ACMS). The system should be a centralised system which integrates control and monitoring of the various shipboard systems.

The presentation should include:

1) Standards and regulations related to ACMS requirements on ship
2) Basic configuration/architecture and specifications of ACMS.
3) Various functions/controls:
a) Alarm Monitoring Functions
b) Control System Operations
c) Power Management System Functions
4) Different types of sensors used

I tried to googling the whole night with different names related to the title but i can't find anything meaningful pertaining to that. Can you guys suggest me some resources in internet or books for me to prepare for the presentation? I have no idea where to start. Thank you!!!
