The design of an ITS dedicated to industrial proceedings

In industry, engineers have to apply their knowledge and understanding to real problems. They need to develop a qualitative understanding of how industrial systems work. The authors discuss the possibility of integrating simulation and artificial intelligence techniques in industry and particularly in educational applications. Then they describe an architecture of an industrial educational system taking into account both simulation and artificial intelligence. In this context, the industrial proceeding is decomposed in basic phases; and small comprehensive elements (knowledge elements) are defined. Many lessons (dialogues) and educational tools are integrated. The tutor chooses admissible lessons and filters only one among them to be proposed to the student eliminating the ones which deviate from the educational strategy
