TLDR
In this paper, a strategy is proposed for the systematic synthesis of operating procedures for chemical processing facilities, which is based on artificial intelligence techniques, most importantly planning with constraints, and the concept of stationary states are used as targets during procedure planning and real-time operations.About:

Génération de séquences d'actions sûres par recherche d'atteignabilité
TL;DR: In this paper, a modelisation formelle du systeme a l'aide d'automates a etats communicants, and a part sur des mecanismes de recherche d'atteignabilite, la faisabilite and les limites d'une approche de generation automatique de sequences respectant a priori les contraintes de securite.
with a micro genetic algorithm
TL;DR: This paper explores the use of a micro genetic algorithm coupled with variable-length chromosomes and a seeding scheme based on tabu search that outperforms the traditional GA algorithm both in terms of the quality of the solution and computational effort.

A model chain based methodology for quantitative planning of operating procedures
TL;DR: In this article, a model chain based quantitative planning methodology is presented in which the whole planning problem is divided into two distinct but interrelated sub-problems: determination of operating path and synthesis of primitive operations.

An Operating Procedure Synthesis Method for Shutdown of Boiler Plants
TL;DR: In this article, a method is proposed which automatically synthesizes a safe operating procedure based on the knowledge of human operators that are generalized and classified hierarchically, and a case study of automatic synthesis of a boiler plant shutdown procedure is presented.

An automatic synthesis system for start-up operating procedures of boiler plants
Sung Gun Lee,Sangil Han,Yoon Sup Byun,Kyu Suk Hwang,Young H. Kim,Young H. Kim,Dongil Shin,Dongil Shin,En Sup Yoon,En Sup Yoon +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a computer-aided system that should prevent such mistakes and synthesize operating procedures for start-up of steam boiler plants: 1) This system generates a goal tree by generalizing and classifying the operational situations hierarchically, and uses the relationship between an operation and a function to search for primitive operations in the lowest level of the goal tree.

Strips: A new approach to the application of theorem proving to problem solving
Richard Fikes,Nils J. Nilsson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a problem solver called STRIPS that attempts to find a sequence of operators in a space of world models to transform a given initial world model in which a given goal formula can be proven to be true.

Planning with constraints
TL;DR: This paper presents an approach to hierarchical planning, termed constraint posting, that uses constraints to represent the interactions between subproblems and is illustrated with a computer program that plans gene-cloning experiments in molecular genetics.

Computer-aided Synthesis of Fault-trees
Steven A. Lapp,Gary J. Powers +1 more
TL;DR: An algorithm is presented for the synthesis of fault-trees which is deduced directly from a digraph (directed graph) model of the system being analyzed, and a computer program which uses this algorithm is illustrated for a chemical processing system.
