Download or read book Automation in Mining Mineral and Metal Processing 1995 MMM 95 written by I. J. Barker and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1997 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the South African Council for Automation and Computation (SACAC) first submitted a bid to host the 8th IFAC Symposium on Automation in Mining, Mineral and Metal Processing in Beijing, many obstacles were evident. Most of these were embodied in negative international attitudes to the government of the Republic of South Africa and the apartheid society it supported. However, it is to the credit of the IFAC working group on automation in mining, mineral and metal processing that their application at that time was considered favourably, although not formally accepted. It took a visit to the 10th IFAC World Congress in Sydney and a visible shift in the political scenario to persuade the relevant IFAC committees that South Africa would be suitable for the symposium. A national organising committee was formed under the leadership of SACAC and the South African Institute of Measurement and Control (SAIMC), the South African Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE) and the South African Institute for Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM). The combined team set about organising the first major IFAC international symposium in South Africa since 1976. The theme for the Symposium was based on the need to promote technology transfer and papers which addressed this issue were favoured. With over 50% of the authors from other countries, a significant opportunity for technology transfer into South Africa was created, which is in keeping with the overall theme.
Download or read book Expert Systems written by Petrică Vizureanu and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expert systems represent a branch of artificial intelligence aiming to take the experience of human specialists and transfer it to a computer system. The knowledge is stored in the computer, which by an execution system (inference engine) is reasoning and derives specific conclusions for the problem. The purpose of expert systems is to help and support user’s reasoning but not by replacing human judgement. In fact, expert systems offer to the inexperienced user a solution when human experts are not available. This book has 18 chapters and explains that the expert systems are products of artificial intelligence, branch of computer science that seeks to develop intelligent programs. What is remarkable for expert systems is the applicability area and solving of different issues in many fields of architecture, archeology, commerce, trade, education, medicine to engineering systems, production of goods and control/diagnosis problems in many industrial branches.

Download or read book Robust Industrial Control Systems written by Michael J. Grimble and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robust Industrial Control Systems: Optimal Design Approach for Polynomial Systems presents a comprehensive introduction to the use of frequency domain and polynomial system design techniques for a range of industrial control and signal processing applications. The solution of stochastic and robust optimal control problems is considered, building up from single-input problems and gradually developing the results for multivariable design of the later chapters. In addition to cataloguing many of the results in polynomial systems needed to calculate industrial controllers and filters, basic design procedures are also introduced which enable cost functions and system descriptions to be specified in order to satisfy industrial requirements. Providing a range of solutions to control and signal processing problems, this book: * Presents a comprehensive introduction to the polynomial systems approach for the solution of H_2 and H_infinity optimal control problems. * Develops robust control design procedures using frequency domain methods. * Demonstrates design examples for gas turbines, marine systems, metal processing, flight control, wind turbines, process control and manufacturing systems. * Includes the analysis of multi-degrees of freedom controllers and the computation of restricted structure controllers that are simple to implement. * Considers time-varying control and signal processing problems. * Addresses the control of non-linear processes using both multiple model concepts and new optimal control solutions. Robust Industrial Control Systems: Optimal Design Approach for Polynomial Systems is essential reading for professional engineers requiring an introduction to optimal control theory and insights into its use in the design of real industrial processes. Students and researchers in the field will also find it an excellent reference tool.

Download or read book Knowledge based Software Development for Real time Distributed Systems written by Jeffrey J.-P. Tsai and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interplay of artificial intelligence and software engineering has been an interesting and an active area in research institution and industry. This book covers the state of the art in the use of knowledge-based approaches for software specification, design, implementation, testing and debugging. Starting with an introduction to various software engineering paradigms and knowledge-based software systems, the book continues with the discussion of using hybrid knowledge representation as a basis to specify software requirements, to facilitate specification analysis and transformation of real-time distributed software systems. A formal requirements specification language using non-monotonic logic, temporal logic, frames and production systems for new software engineering paradigms (such as rapid prototyping, operational specification and transformational implementation) is also discussed in detail. Examples from switching and other applications are used to illustrate the requirements language. Finally, the development, specification and verification of knowledge-based systems are investigated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space vehicles have become increasingly complex in recent years, and the number of missions has multiplied as a result of extending frontiers in the exploration of our planetary system and the universe beyond. The advancement of automatic control in aerospace reflects these developments. Key areas covered in these proceedings include: the size and complexity of spacecrafts and the increasingly stringent performance requirements to be fulfilled in a harsh and unpredictable environment; the merger of space vehicles and airplanes into space planes to launch and retrieve payloads by reusable winged vehicles; and the demand to increase space automation and autonomy to reduce human involvement as much as possible in manned, man-tended and unmanned missions. This volume covers not only the newly evolving key technologies but also the classical issues of guidance, navigation and control.
