Safety and Management of Complex Processes: Supervision, Control, Optimization and Intelligent Process Data Management

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present a new global vision of plant data management in large scale processes for plant maximum efficiency with respect to plant safety and environmental regulations. In this perspective, one highlights the vulnerability of a plant to inaccurate data, and poor performance control systems based on cheap solutions compared to the reliability of new techniques based on artificial intelligence methods and their important role of handling plant knowledge extraction, information organization and coordination among diffirent plant's units and control systems to avoid dramatic situations.
