An intelligent model for assisted process control

Presents a system that allows experienced users to describe their knowledge so as to use a task bank to solve complex problems. Initially, this system has been developed to guide designers facing problems in a complex CAD environment. In this paper we will show how the different concepts we have introduced can be applied to process control systems. Therefore, we will illustrate the utilization of our system to describe a Sollac blast furnace control system, known as SACHEM. Having presented the different elements of the model for assisted design (MAD), we will describe a part of the SACHEM system. Then, we show the utilization of our model on the Sachem blast furnace control. In the last chapter, we conclude and give the future direction of our research.
