Implementation of a knowledge-based PID auto-tuner

Abstract This paper presents a particular implementation of a knowledge-based control system. It attempts to show how heuristics developed in recent research on intelligent PID control can be implemented to attain some of the visionary goals of knowledge-based control. The other characteristics of the implementation are the blackboard architecture of the knowledge base, and the clear separation of heuristic logic from the numerical algorithms.
