“…The INTEMOR system had been used to develop many intelligent systems, including an expert process monitoring system which was applied to a pulp bleaching process (Xia and Rao, 1999b), a prototype intelligent operation support system (IOSS) that was implemented on a bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp plant (Xia and Rao 1999c), an intelligent maintenance support system for monitoring and troubleshooting of mining truck conditions (Ursenbach et al, 1994), an integrated distributed intelligent system for on-line monitoring and control of pulp processes Xia, 1994, 1997), an expert system for on-line incident detection and reporting (Erlenbach et al, 1994), an expert system for real-time process condition monitoring and incident prevention of a chemical pulp mill process (Feng et al, 1998), and a knowledge integration system for pulp and paper process operations (Farzadeh et al, 1995). The major weakness of this framework is its lack of scalability.…”
