Description
Expert system technology is receiving increasing popularity
and acceptance in the engineering community. This is due to
the fact that there actually exists a close match between
the capabilities of the current generation expert systems
and the requirements of engineering practice. Prepared by a
distinguished team of experts, this book provides a balanced
state-of-the-art presentation of the design principles of
engineering expert systems, and a representative picture of
their capabilities to assist efficiently the design,
diagnosis and operation of complex industrial plants.
Among the application areas covered are the following:
hardware synthesis, industrial plant layout design, fault
diagnosis, process control, image analysis, computer
communication, electric power systems, intelligent control,
robotics, and manufacturing systems. The book is appropriate
for the researcher and the professional. The researcher can
save considerable time in searching the scattered technical
information on engineering expert systems. The professional
can have readily available a rich set of guidelines and
techniques that are applicable to a wide class of
engineering domains.
