The objectives of this program are the design and development of knowledge based systems for increasing safety and security in nuclear facilities, to implement a graphic interface in G2, and to assess the performance of the system using validation data. Integration of the systems with sensors and sensor fusion systems is also a goal of this project. This project was designed as a team effort among LANL, FSU, and contractors within Allied Signal, and the collaboration has been a successful venture. Each part of the team has brought very valuable contributions to the project during the year, and the cooperation level among the sub-teams has been phenomenal. The subject of this report is to summarize the accomplishments of the FSU part of the team. Foundational work has been performed for all of the project goals during the past year at FSU. Susan Bassett (Hruska) spent the summer at LANL under this contract, picking up on much of the administrative oversight of the project while Paul Argo was on extended vacation. Chris Lacher, Chair of Computer Science, took on the responsibility of on site leadership and direction of FSU GRAs when Susan Hruska took a partial leave of absence from FSU beginning in January 1998. Kristin Adair spent one semester on site at LANL as a GRA, and all of the FSU team members have traveled at least once to LANL for team meetings during the year. The LANL and FSU teams also met at a technical conference in Orlando in the Fall to present a special session on knowledge-based systems at the conference, and for lengthy team meetings. A web page for the project has provided additional communication links and a forum for sharing information and reports of progress between the sub-teams. |
