Fuzzy Set Theory - and Its Applications

This paper describes an experiment on the “linguistic” synthesis of a controller for a model industrial plant (a steam engine). Fuzzy logic is used to convert heuristic control rules stated by a human operator into an automatic control strategy. The experiment was initiated to investigate the possibility of human interaction with a learning controller. However, the control strategy set up linguistically proved to be far better than expected in its own right, and the basic experiment of linguistic control synthesis in a non-learning controller is reported here.

Knowledge management has emerged as a major industrial focus and has obvious pragmatic interpretations in terms of enterprise and workflow modeling. However, a principled approach to the management of the knowledge processes of organizations combining people and technologies requires an operational definition of knowledge. This article develops a knowledge level analysis of the emergence of the knowledge construct through modeling and management processes in societies of adaptive agents. The analysis shows how knowledge becomes ascribed to agents, organizations and technologies, and how formal logics of knowledge, organizations and technologies emerge naturally from reasonable presuppositions in the modeling process.

Knowledge Level Modeling of Agents, Organizations and Technologies

This paper describes the design considerations underlying the development of an advanced minicomputer (.MINIC-S) noW' in commercial production. Emphasis is placed on programming/compiler and operating-sy:stllm requirements ,on the one hand and engineering feasibility on the other. Hicropl:'ogramming/ trapping enables all ~chines of the range to offer the identical architecture and range of facilities. Descriptor-based data organisation enables a very wide range of operand types and lengths to be made available. Relocation/protection and a separate mini~omputer I-O processor enable reaL-time process-structured operating systems to be implemented erficiently. The original design brief for the machine described in this paper was a replacement for an 8-bit mini-computer widely used in machine tool control-the replacement to have enhanced arithmetic. capabilities on wider operands together with wider address scope. The technology was to be conventional and the overall price range to be in the centre of ,the mini-computer market. It very rapidly became apparent, however, in the early stages of design that such a conception of minicomputer architecture had been overtaken by events. On the one hand microcomputers on a few chips were attaining the power 'Of conventional minis-on the other hand standard circuit technology and costs were 1IIuc:h that one could go way beyond present ~nicomputer architec-tures whilst still maintaining the cost objectives. Indeed a basic problem for small computer designers nowadays is the effective exploitation of the capabilities of current electronic components. There is the danger on the one hand of designing a too-simple machine where the processor cost is negligible relative to power-supplies, cabinet and memory, Whereas on the other hand il machine may ha over-engineered with a diverse range of complex facilities that do not integrate well together and are difficult to utilise particularly under compilers. 1.1 Increased hardware content for improved system performance There .Ill'!! two main area.s where inCl'eAsed hardware content may be used to improve system performance and take advantage of recent developments in computer science: (i) Ope~ting systems-the advantages of process-structured operating systems have been extolled as major aids to real-time system development and software reliability [1-3J, both of which are of major importance in typical minicomputer applications. However, the protection and cOlll1lunicat.ion mechaniS1llS necessary are not implementable on conventional machines without a high time overhead which in turn limi t's the potential of process-structuring in its most important applications-most real-time gyste .. are inhel'!!ntly short of time.

The implementation of a system to support a learning web (Norrie and Gaines, 1995) involves the coordinated support of a wide range of knowledge processes in a learning community. These include the discourse processes among members of the community, the dissemination of knowledge through documents and multimedia resources, the elicitation, sharing and comparison of conceptual structures, and the exploration of the consequences of knowledge through simulation and application. Currently the Internet provides excellent tools supporting discourse such as email list servers, and supporting multimedia resource dissemination through World Wide Web (web) servers and browsers. Mediator, a prototype learning web implementation, involves integrating these existing tools with new ones supporting the collaborative modeling of conceptual structures through questionnaires, concept maps and repertory grids. This article describes the Mediator architecture and its implementation on the web, and describes and exemplifies the use of existing facilities and the additional tools.
