KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS FOR REAL-TIME PROCESS CONTROL: THE MIP PROJECT (original) (raw)

Artificial Intelligence in Real-Time Control 1992, 1993

Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper a detailed description of the MIP project is presented. MIP (Intelligent Process Monitoring) is a Real-Time Expert System that monitors, diagnoses, and generates suggestions in real time about optimization and stability concerning the operation of a petrochemical plant. MIP software architecture is based on the concept of Blackboard. The Blackboard is the central mechanism for information exchange between the modules of the system, being also the only centralized knowledge representation scheme within the system. MIP uses a hierarchical knowledge representation with four levels of abstraction, different knowledge sources being responsible of maintaining each of these levels. MIP is deployed and in current use since March 1991 in an acrylonitrile plant of REPSOL QUIMICA, S.A. at Tarragona (Spain), with a reported success both from the technical and the economical point of view.
