✦ Synopsis

ThLs" paper ~h,.wrihes a deep-knowledge expert system shell.lor diagnosing [}mlt.s" in process operations. The expert program shell is called GOTRES (GOal TRee Expert System) and uses a goal tree-success tree deepknowledge structure to mo~k'l its knowledge-base. To demonstrate GOTRES, we hare built an on-line./}mlt diagm~si.s" e.vpert system lor an experimental mwlear reactor ./acility u.sing this shell. The expert system is capable 0[" diagnosing lault comtitions using st'stem goal tree as well as utilizing ¢lCCltmltkltcd operating knowh,dge to predict plant causal and temporal hehariors. The GO TRES shell has also been usedJor root-cause detection and analt'sis in a nuclear phmt.
