Towards a novel learning assistant for networked automation systems

摘要

Due to increasing requirements on functionality (e.g. self-diagnosis, self-optimization) or flexibility (e.g. self-configuration), future automation systems are demanded to be more and more intelligent. Therefore the systems are desired to learn new knowledge from other systems or its environment. The purpose of this work is to propose a prospective concept of learning assistant for networked automation systems. With the help of the assistant, an automation system can obtain new knowledge by collaborating with other systems to improve its prior knowledge. So that the system user is liberated from continuously providing new knowledge to an automation system.
