Abstract

The management system of the boilers combustion is one of the most critical systems for the good functioning of GLZ-I oil plant. It has a high impact on the methods of cogitation and apprehension of various problems related to maintenance. It is a multiparticipant process with high level of interactivity. In this work we consider the paradigm of distributed decision-support systems where several decision-makers must reach a common decision. As a solution we propose an integrated framework based on a distributed architecture where each decision-maker uses a specific co-operative intelligent decision support system. The support system is viewed as a set of computer-based tools integrating expert knowledge and using collaboration technologies that help decision-makers and provide them with interactive capabilities to enhance their understanding and information base about options through use of models and data processing.

Le système de gestion de combustion des chaudières est un des systèmes les plus critiques pour le bon fonctionnement de l’usine pétrolière GLZ-I et a un grand impact sur la maintenance. C’est un processus multiparticipant et hautement interactif. Nous considérons, dans cet article, le paradigme des systèmes d'aide à la décision distribuée, dans lequel plusieurs décideurs doivent atteindre une décision commune. Pour cela, nous proposons un cadre intégré basé sur une architecture distribuée où chaque décideur utilise un système coopératif intelligent d'aide à la décision. Ce dernier consiste en un ensemble d'outils intégrant des connaissances expertes et des technologies de coopération qui coopèrent avec le décideur et lui fournissent un contexte interactif lui permettant d'enrichir son savoir.
