Abstract
One of the most promising application areas for expert systems is an on-line advisor to a process plant operator. In modern control rooms, the operator is responsible for monitoring thousands of measurements and interpreting plant condition. The expert system design for this application required new approaches toward the creation of knowledge bases, the real-time use of knowledge for inference and other requirements. Expert systems have been applied in several plants to assist the operator in this task. The design and implementation issues are reviewed. The extension of this work to non-process applications which have similar real-time requirements is currently proceeding.
