Knowledge-based diagnostic systems for continuous process operations based upon the task framework

We present the Task framework for building knowledge-based diagnostic systems for chemical process plants. The details of the framework are illustrated in terms of a specific knowledge-based system called CATCRACKER, for process and malfunction diagnosis in fluid catalytic cracking processes
