This paper presents the application of the technologies of knowledge sharing and reuse to solve production problems within the metal casting industry. The NewSun Workbench, a knowledge sharing and reuse workbench, is introduced to facilitate the construction of a new knowledge base, and to simplify the interdependency between agents. Two expert system shells, Goldworks and KAPPA-PC, have been used to implement two Knowledge-Based Systems and one domain ontology in this exercise namely, a Process Control Expert System, a Fault Diagnosis Expert System, and a Casting Production Domain Ontology. |
