Abstract
This paper addresses issues regarding the application of artificial intelligence techniques to real-time control. Advantages associated with knowledge-based programming are discussed. A proposed rule-based control technique is summarized and applied to the problem of automated aircraft emergency procedure execution. Although emergency procedures are by definition predominately procedural, their numerous evaluation and decision points make a declarative representation of the knowledge they encode highly attractive, resulting in an organized and easily maintained software hierarchy. Simulation results demonstrate that real-time performance can be obtained using a microprocessor-based controller. It is concluded that a rule-based control system design approach may prove more useful than conventional methods under certain circumstances, and that declarative rules with embedded procedural code provide a sound basis for the construction of complex, yet economical, control systems.
