Abstract

A process control system for controlling a process exhibiting both linear behavior and non-linear behavior with a plurality of control quantities has a knowledge base storing therein universal facts, production rules including expert's empirical rules, meta rules describing flows of inferences, algorithm methods by mathematical expressions and membership functions referenced in fuzzy inference and a complex inference mechanism. The complex inference mechanism is composed of a complex fuzzy mechanism for inferring directly predicted values on a multi-dimensional space generated by a plurality of elements for evaluation and predicted control objectives evaluated previously with fuzzy quantities, a predicting fuzzy mechanism having the input supplied with the predicted values for determining arithmetically correlation to the membership functions determined previously with the fuzzy quantities and a satisfaction grade obtained by imparting weight to the correlation for each of the control objectives to thereby determine such a combination of the control quantities for control effectors to vary the operation states thereof from the current operation states that the satisfaction grade be…
