Abstract | This report presents an overview of existing realtime expert systems. These are expert systems that, among other things, interface directly with the process environment and its sensors and actuators, must perform under some time constraint, and must do multiple tasks. The report describes issues that must be handled by such expert systems, identifies components required to resolve these issues, and describes the approaches taken by current realtime expert systems to implement each component. It also takes several examples of existing realtime expert systems and describes their features, status, and future directions. This report resulted from a literature survey done in 1988 and includes systems and references up to the end of that year. |
