WISE Expert: An Expert System for Monitoring Ship Cargo Handling

摘要

WISE Expert is a general-purpose system that can be used for monitoring or controlling, in real time, complex systems that have recurring sub-structures. The system has been developed using a unique schematic development tool that ensures coherency of structure during design and construction. The design of the Expert System takes advantage of a distinction between the monitored system structure and expert knowledge so that the structure description can be used to generate specific rules for the system automatically. The system has been tested as an overseer during the running of trainee mariner exercises with a liquid cargo simulator and is now operational at over 35 customer sites throughout the world.
