The main thrust of this research is the development of an artificial intelligence (AI) system to be used as an operators' aid in the diagnosis of faults in large-scale chemical process plants. The operator advisory system involves the integration of two fundamentally different AI techniques: expert systems and neural networks. A diagnostic strategy based on the hierarchical use of neural networ...

A complete reconstruction program was started at the electrical substation of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant to assist the Hungarian high voltage network to join the European network. At the operator level a new, PC-based SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system was introduced. An AI-based, intelligent advisory system was developed and embedded into the SCADA system. The first part...

Future air traffic systems aim at increasing both the capacity and safety of the system, necessitating the development of new metrics and advisory tools for controllers’ workload in real-time. Psychophysiological data such as Electroencephalography (EEG) are used to contrast and validate subjective assessments and workload indices. EEG used within augmented cognition systems form situation awar...

background in recent times, there has been a growing demand internationally for health policies to be based on reliable research evidence. consequently, there is a need to strengthen institutions and mechanisms that can promote interactions among researchers, policy-makers and other stakeholders who can influence the uptake of research findings. the health policy advisory committee (hpac) is on...

The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting the development of entrepreneurship in theagricultural advisory services companies. The main instrument to collect the data was questionnaire and itsvalidity of questionnaire is confirmed by experts and its reliability is measured through Cronbach’s alpha(75%). The data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16. The finding showed that ...

A multi-modal teaching-advisory system for sensor-based robot systems is presented that uses complementary information obtained from the operator and sensors. W e propose a new framework for on-site robot teaching systems that takes account of the characteristics of humans and sensors. This framework enables the teaching system to integrate a variety of robot task constraints, task specificatio...
