The paper presents an application of expert systems for monitoring phenomenon seen as distributed parameter systems. The information from these systems may be obtained using sensor networks and estimation techniques. The problem is formulated in the frame of general knowledge about distributed parameter systems, with application at the heat transfer. A knowledge base may be developed using huma...

This paper presents some technical solutions for monitoring of distributed parameter systems based on the new technologies of virtual instrumentation software architecture and intelligent ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. The virtual instrumentation allows the treatment of physical variables communicating with instruments as programs from a PC. The sensor networks may be placed in the areas of d...
