The Application of On-Line Expert Systems to Supervisory Process Control

The Application of On-Line Expert Systems to Supervisory Process Control

The use of computers in the process industry is set to increase. However, the implementation of conventional computer technology is not adequate for executing the complex supervisory tasks. This paper speculates upon the use of on-line expert systems which have been developed for working in non-line...
