WaRP - A Reactive Planner Integrated in an Environmental Decision Support System for Wastewater Treatment Plant Management

Luigi Ceccaroni, Dave Robertson

In this paper we present an environmental decision-support system (named DAI-DEPUR+) and a reactive linear planner (named WaRP), and their application to the wastewater domain. The environmental decision-support system is: able to receive and process on- and off-line information about a wastewater treatment process, capable of understanding this information for applying an existent model or for creating a new model of the treatment-system dynamics, competent in using this understanding for autonomously planning the control of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and for supporting human management of a WWTP. The WaRP planner is a real-time, continuously-active, intelligent system being developed for representing and using experts' procedural knowledge for accomplishing pre-defined goals. At the present time it is a single-level, mainly data-driven planner.

Keywords: Planning, Reactive Control, Real-time Systems, Knowledge-Based Systems
