Expert Systems in Engineering (Artificial Intelligence in Industry)

Some of the most fruitful products of Artificial Intelligence research currently being applied in industry are in the area of Expert Systems. This volume, the second in a new series, examines the application of Expert Systems across a wide range of engineering disciplines. Papers have been selected to illustrate current applications across a wide range of industries including process industries, construction, electronics manufacture and manufacturing automation. Reports give details of projects in on-line process control, computer-aided design, fault diagnosis, control of robotic systems and production scheduling. Authors include researchers and engineers from the USA, Europe and Japan, to give a global view of these exciting new developments.
