Abstract :
Intelligent control is the fusion of artificial intelligence, conventional control theory, and operations research. The Monsoon dataflow multiprocessor is a parallel, general-purpose computer which is under construction at MIT in cooperation with Motorola Inc. The Monsoon system is briefly described, and a simple extension to the Monsoon token queues is proposed to permit preemptive scheduling of time-critical tasks and to make the system suitable as an intelligent control execution vehicle
