Conceptual Models For Explaining Process Behavior from Process Trends - Creativity Award

在化工过程的设计、模拟、优化、控制和调度中，计算机已经变得不可或缺。然而，更充分地自动化大型过程管理和控制系统的经理、操作工程师和操作员的高级思维过程所需的概念表示和计算模型尚未找到。%建议的研究是关于创建必要的概念表示并将其作为计算模型来实现，以便管理自治过程控制系统的信息流。

Computers have become indispensable in the design, simulation, optimization, control, and scheduling of chemical processes. Yet, the conceptual representations and computational models needed to more fully automate the higher-level thought processes of the managers, operating engineers, and operators of large process management and control systems have yet to be found. %%% The proposed research is about creating the necessary conceptual representations and implementing them as computational models in order to manage the information flow of an autonomous process control system.
