Software environment and architecture for intelligent control

Three types of software environment and architecture for intelligent control systems are discussed. The first type is the single expert system that only processes symbolic information and provides assistance to control engineers in decision-making processes for design and offline monitoring. The second is the coupling system that couples the numerical computation programs into an expert system so that it can be used to solve engineering problems. The third is the integrated intelligent system that is a large intelligence integration environment, which can integrate different expert systems or numerical packages together to solve complex problems
