Abstract :
The authors discuss a blackboard-based process planning system for the surface mount assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The developed system has a user interface, two knowledge sources, a blackboard, and an output module. This process planning system takes into consideration some of the real-time changes in the shop floor of a PCB manufacturing facility
