“…Various applications have been developed to address such tasks (Table ). The Analytical Director program has been developed to automate the conversion of “textbook” analytical procedures by applying chemical knowledge in a deep-reasoning-based inference mechanism. ,, The AAexpert program has been designed to implement totally automated analysis by flame AAS . PAWMI is a program developed to carry out automated identification of bulk organic waste mixtures using IR data as a preliminary screening tool prior to quantitative analysis .…”

In this paper we discuss the application of expert system technology in the analytical chemistry domain and summarizes the progress made in the implementation of the ACexpert project. We start with a brief description of the software tools that are commonly used in construction of expert system applications as well as the inference mechanisms employed to search the knowledge base. A brief review of the achievements made world wide during the past five years in the development of expert systems for use in the chemistry domain follows. This paper particularly addresses the difficulties found in the knowledge acquisition process. An effective knowledge encoding scheme, named the knowledge domain matrix process (KDM), that has been developed in our laboratory as an knowledge encoding alternative, is described. In the final section, we describe the development of several stand-alone expert system modules based on implementation of the KDM scheme within the framework of the ACexpert project. The importance of the user interface in an expert system program is also emphasized, and graphical user interfaces featuring icons, pull-down menus, and graphical descriptions have been developed for the different modules in the ACexpert project to ensure a user-friendly and self-explanatory environment.

“…For example, a mouse clicking on the empty stock-1 icon would allow a user to assign a new chemical reagent to the stock-1 object. Designing an analytical procedure in the conceptual laboratory model consists of two phases: (1) assigning chemical reagents to stock solutions; (2) designing each step of a procedure.…”

“…The standard working curve was plotted to show the concentrationabsorbance linear relationship at certain concentration range. While there were some noticeable quality differences among the three standard working curves of the TAs, the five standard working curves from the robot execution showed almost (1) Zymate laboratory controler equipped with a Z-840 computer interface (2) Zymate II Laboratory Robot…”

“…There are numerous references to the use of Zymark robotic equipment for the analysis of pesticide residues between 1985 and 1997, including work of Law and Jones [4][5][6][7], Owens [8], Lemme [9], and Koskinen [10]. Between 1988 and 1994, Isenhour and his group reported the use of expert system software to control robotic systems using the Zymark robot [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Once a system reaches a certain size, scheduling of tasks becomes an important consideration.…”
