Objective
This project addressed some of the research topics connected with the design of KBSs that have to interact closely with complex processes (eg industrial diagnosis, plant monitoring, process control, etc). It developed the capability of dealing with a typeof reasoning where time dependency is crucial, and where there is a specific need for representing and using qualitative models of physical systems.
A detailed study at the level of system design assessed the state of the art and defined effective architectures for distributed KBSs.
This project addressed some of the research topics connected with the design of knowledge based system (KBS) that have to interact closely with complex processes (eg industrial diagnosis, plant monitoring, process control, etc). It developed the capability of dealing with a type of reasoning where time dependency is crucial, and where there is a specific need for representing and using qualitative models of physical systems. A detailed study at the level of system design assessed the stated of the art and defined effective architectures for distributed KBS. The project produced a literature survey of 3 topics: time in dependent reasoning, qualitative modelling and distributed expert systems. It also developed a detailed example of the application of 3 different approaches to modelling the behaviour of physical systems in a qualitative way and a functional study of 2 approaches to distribution in expert systems. Finally, an initial specification of a toolkit for the development of KBS for process monitoring was produced.

Exploitation
One participating organisation is using the experience gained in qualitative modelling in the project it is working on. The three deliverable mentioned above are publicly available. Project 820, QUCI, is implementing and validating through demonstrators the tool-kit initially specified in this project.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
