| Research Abstract |
To carry out safe and effective use of batch processes, the integration of the different activities, such as planning, design, operation, and maintenance is necessary. In addition, to shorten the lead time from the product development to the commercial production, the utilization of the past experiences on design rationale and commercialization of new products is indispensable. Therefore, it is desired to provide an integrated information support environment which is available to the various activities of batch production and enables to fully utilize the past experiences. Moreover, it is necessary to develop a methodology for each decision making process under integrated information support environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate these problems.
The results of this study are summarized as follows:
1. Construction of integrated information support environment for batch processes
Towards the integration of the different activities, it is important to record the risk managem

ent information through the plant life cycle and share it to each activity. In this study, representation scheme of design rationale information considered at plant design phase and method of safety operation support have been proposed. In relation to this, a knowledge based reasoning tool and ontology for integration have been developed. In addition, an engineering activity of commercialization of a new product in batch processes has been modeled explicitly.
2. Development of decision making approach under integrated information support environment
To safely and flexibly cope with a variety of unplanned events, it is effective to utilize the modularity of batch processes. In this study, a multi-agent structure approach to design and management of batch control system has been proposed using plant life cycle ontology and developed a reasoning system to search a data base for the best control strategy. In addition, a methodology for integration of different decision making processes for batch processes has been developed based on a discrete event system approach. Less
