Abstract:
A new kind of distributed fault diagnosis method of chemical process based on multi-agent system was provided. By defining the fault diagnosis ontology and the function-behavior ontology of chem ical process, We both improve the performance of the fault diagnosis system and reduce the degree of the whole system construction complexity significantly. By use of the provided chemical process diagnosis on tology, the development of the MAS based fault diagnosis system will be transformed from the design of the structure of agent to the use of the attribute of the diagnosis ontology.
