Abstract :
The author discusses the application of computer-simulation and artificial-intelligence techniques to the design of chemical plants. To illustrate the interrelationship between communications, as a generic task, and plant design, five separate layers of activities are dealt with: the decision on investment, the role of experts in plant design, the identification of isolable tasks, the tools used in plant design, and general-purpose vs. dedicated hardware
