Dagnegard, Lund Institute of Technology T Hagglund, Lund Institute of Technology C. Rytoft, Asea Brown Boveri AB B. Wittenmark, Lund Institute of Technology Scope: The aim of the workshop is to inform about - where the leading edge is in the integration of AI/KBS systems in real time process control - what the primary challenges are to future advances - how computer science, process control, and related technologies can contribute to these advances. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge-based systems (KBS) has created a strong interest in applying these technologies to process control. The workshop will focus on solutions that meet the needs of real-time operations, data synchronization, and execution speed while satisfying control systems functionality and integration constraints. New practical and theoretical avenues (in architectures, languages, executives) that provide a basis for effective coexistence of, and execution of, real time and knowledge-based modules in modern process control systems are among the topics of interest. Topics: - The role of AI/KBS systems in the supervision, management, and control of industrial processes. - Software architectures and languages for joint applications of expert systems and process control algorithms, possibly high performance and time-critical. - Synchronous communication and real time needs in control systems incorporating AI/KBS. - Object-oriented structures. AI/KBS versus traditional software systems in process control. - Issues in hardware and software integration. - Software techniques that accommodate changes in process configuration. - Issues in knowledge acquisition and representation for process control. - Augmenting human decision making. - The hardware technology base for integrated systems. Neural networks and other new avenues. - Management issues (cost & economy, implementation, project management). - Process control applications of real time expert systems, neural networks, and fuzzy logic.
