Expert Systems in Mineral and Metal Processing: Proceedings of the IFAC Workshop, Espoo, Finland, 26-28 August 1991 (IFAC Workshop Series)

Within the metal and mining industries, the use of expert systems for monitoring and control is on the increase. The content of each paper had to include both expert systems, neural networks or fuzzy control. The papers were evenly contributed from industry, universities and research institutes, thus this book provides a valuable insight into the theoretical as well as the practical applications currently in use within the industry.
