摘要
Conceptual process design is a multiagent, distributed problem-solving activity that can be significantly enhanced with the aid of several individual intelligent systems. It is quite difficult to develop such intelligent systems on the basis of existing expert-system shells because of the complexity of conceptual process design. In this paper, the characteristics and requirements of conceptual process design are first analyzed, and then an intelligent design environment (Meta-COOP) for conceptual process design is presented. Meta-COOP is based on object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and coded in C++. This environment provides such distinct features as the integration of various knowledge-representation and inference methods, and deals with multimedia information. An intelligent system for the conceptual design of heat exchanger networks (IDIS-CDHEN) provides an application of this intelligent design environment, and a demonstration of its methodology.
