Intelligent Modelling, Diagnosis and Control of Manufacturing Processes

This edited volume demonstrates that the key to the modelling, diagnosis and control of the next generation manufacturing processes is to integrate knowledge-based systems with traditional techniques. An up-to-date study is given here of this relatively recent development. The book is for those working primarily with traditional techniques and those working in the knowledge-based systems field. Both sets of readers will find it to be a source of many specific ideas about the intelligence of knowledge-based systems with traditional techniques, and carrying a wealth of useful references.
