Abstract

The control and monitoring of fermentation processes is a knowledge-intensive activity which requires the application of a considerable body of expert knowledge. This paper describes and motivates CONFER, a knowledge system for real time bioprocess monitoring and control. CONFER contains a blackboard problem-solving system which is augmented by a declarative knowledge base and a collection of process models. The system uses the knowledge base and models to improve its problem-solving performance. CONFER is designed to be accountable, so detailed explanations of its activities are essential. Unlike other systems, explanation is the basis of the system design and partially motivates the inclusion of the knowledge base and the inclusion of the knowledge base and process models.
