Description

The OO Optimization Software of self-adaptation system
The present invention relates generally to Process Control System, particularly, the present invention relates to utilize the optimizing process control system of adaptive optimization software systems.Specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of adaptive optimization software systems that comprise the intelligence software object with the classification relationship structural arrangement (after this being referred to as " ISO " sometimes), wherein the target of each ISO is searched state and can be revised by the higher level ISO in described ISO hierarchy.Again specifically, the present invention relates to comprise the ISO of the in house software object that contains expert system object, adaptive model object, optimizer object, fallout predictor object, detecting device object, communication/translation object.Another concrete and last man-machine interaction method that a bit relates to people and described adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention.
Process Control System is used to various devices with testing process state and adjustment process operating parameter, so that be used in the performance optimization of given set target.Current a lot of traditional Process Control System is used the static representations of controlled process, can not represent the variation of employed process control model in real time.
In traditional Adaptive Control Theory, the parameter of using static rule to select the adaptive controller structure and regulate described controller, thus make the output of described process progressively follow the output of a model reference.Described static rule does not allow the automatic and variation of procedure of adaptation state optimally of Process Control System.
Whether no matter be self-adaptation, a distinct disadvantage of prior art Process Control System is all to lack a user interface intuitively in system of initial configuration or with this system real-time, interactive the time.
Another distinct disadvantage of prior art Process Control System is, no matter whether be self-adaptation, described Process Control System all can not automatically perform control action, thereby can not provide one to constitute powerful unified system with described Process Control System and search mechanism (global goal-seeking mechanism) with the optimized omnidistance target that realization and management objectives and purpose adapt.
In addition, a lot of Process Control Systems of prior art only provide the hierarchy that reference mark, element and/or the system model of limited level are set up or controlled.
Therefore, whether no matter be self-adaptation, the Process Control System of a lot of prior aries all can not provide the parallel multistage optimization of scope from specific, oriented-component, narrow pack level to the wideest omnidistance level.
Traditional Process Control System is made up of the concrete element (being detecting device, controller) that works alone and lack rudimentary optimization.Some system has carried out full optimization system-level, but does not have the optimization of consideration in each component-level, and some other system then only optimizes in component-level.Search mechanism when the omnidistance target of neither one and constitute a powerful unified system when realizing management objectives with described parts, whole process just can not realize integrated and optimization rudimentary or component-level and whole process or system-level optimization.
A lot of systems that parallel multistage optimization to a certain degree is provided really depend on that only one or both realize the method for desired parallel multistage optimization, rather than depend on and comprise expert system, can use multiplicity and diversity on the adaptive model of one or more method for establishing model that comprise neural network and the method that other forecast model is set up technology.
In the system of limited use several different methods, there is not a kind of Process Control System to use interactive different adaptive approach to go dynamically to change its selected forecast model in real time and needn't stop just in controlled process or described Process Control System.
In addition, the operation that depends on the people of a lot of current habitual Process Control Systems determines in real time in whole Process Control System territory and implements to optimize the set-point.These Process Control Systems need people's intervention just can make process and system optimization, but, since human operators they the control inferential capability and experience aspect very big-difference is arranged, so this artificial factor will cause the variation in a big way on described Process Control System overall efficiency.
Expert system provides effective improvement to the conventional procedure control system that can not use expert system really.But the Process Control System of a lot of current techniques can not use that expert system is helped the process control algorithm operation, algorithm is selected or algorithm parameter estimates to carry out self-adaptation.
In addition, in case be mounted, do not use the Process Control System of the current techniques of expert system not have robotization, systematized means to optimize the algorithm of its expert system and described expert system adaptively.
Neural network be a kind of be used to guarantee described process model can free in accurately predicting be established the powerful modelling technology of model process performance.But neural network has known " memory " problem, and becomes " static state " and the different models that can not find to make a variation whereby, thus can not be in the whole time forecasting process performance more accurately.
In addition, the definition of neural network depends on that the user understands function entirely truely, in the time can not guaranteeing that the user can entirely truely understand, is subjected to the infringement that user's omniscient complete solution is relied on based on the neural network of system.
In addition, some neural network need be estimated the weights that adopted from the neural network that the required arbitrary data function of the constraint reconciliation method that will adopt is derived; As the input of described network, these weights all are unavailable, therefore, calculate these weights how in real time owing to can not acquire, so, limited the applicability of neural network to described Process Control System.
Therefore, thus an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of dynamic expression of using controlled process provides the optimizing process control system that is just changing in the using process controlling models in real time.
Another object of the present invention provide a kind of can be automatically and optimize the optimizing process control system of adaptive change process condition.

Referring to Fig. 1, adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention comprise intelligence software object or ISO10, these software systems control is provided and/or optimize to use in various useful functions and can connecting in every way or be grouped together.ISO10 comprises the in house software object; In most preferred embodiment, the present invention use one known as object based programming, usually use such as SmallTalk TMOr the software program method carried out of the computerese of C++ removes to carry out the in house software object of described ISO10, thus, sets up a self-adaptation, OO Optimization Software system.Should be appreciated that in applicant's plan, these software objects of in house software object and other software object can both but must not be restricted to " object-oriented " software object.Adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention are by having the control function that one or more ISO10 that are configured to collaborative expression controlled process carry out this system; By between the ISO10 in house software object and be configured and the co-operating that is used as between the ISO10 of a system can also realize optimizing.
ISO10 of the present invention can keep and described process, concrete element and/or the relevant logout of abstract element represented by these ISO10 configurablely.Be configured in below with the detecting device object of describing in detail 25 for each ISO10.Detecting device object 25 is used as the data management system of controlled process state, and these states comprise the state of described process control variable.Use these detecting device objects 25, ISO10 expert system object 12, fallout predictor object 18, adaptive model object 20 and optimizer object 22 to work together finding, to calculate, to explain and to deduce the new state of described control variable, thereby reach desired process status or implementation procedure target.
Except real world process, concrete element and/or abstract element, designed adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention, according to its initial optimization target, its current optimization aim with by the target of system user regulation, monitor its performance and revise its initial configuration adaptively to improve performance.
Referring to Fig. 1,, usually show the block scheme of ISO as an example with label 10 here.ISO10 in house software object allow each ISO10 to represent almost to be imaginabale anything.At first describe the general property of routine ISO10, describe the example institutional framework of specific ISP10 then.
ISO10 is the essential structure element of adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention.Each ISO can represent and set up the model of a plurality of physics things, abstract things or generalities things and comprise a plurality of in house software objects that will be discussed in more detail below at first, and these objects can be enabled, forbid or not constitute.Described ISO10 in house software object comprises: the expert system object 12 that can utilize the one or more rule-based knowledge bases 13 that comprise distinct logic rules 14 and/or fuzzy logic ordination 16; Can use multistage, parallel, different method for establishing model to produce the adaptive model object 20 of adaptive model, each described adaptive model mutually " competition " in real time in ISO10 is to predict the real-time process result on the basis of current, past and forecasting process parameter; Fallout predictor object 18 is used for selecting from the adaptive model object of vying each other 20 that adaptive model of can optimum prediction measured real-time process result; Optimizer object 22, be used to determine by ISO10 use at the calculating of given process status, optimization or the parameters optimization of element; Communication translater object 26, it can handle the communication between inside and outside the ISO10; With detecting device object 25, it can partly be used as intelligent data repository device and search library.
Though in ISO10, there is the in house software object functionality, enable these functions then by user's decision, or selectively, by expert system object 12 decisions of ISO itself through it.Self-adaptation of the present invention to be described in detail below, OO Optimization Software user interface, the initial initial sets that ISO10 in house software object is provided to the user; Then, the user is according to this initial sets of possibility in house software object, dispose specific I SO or ISO10 group, representing concrete element (for example automobile) or abstract element (for example calculating of per gallon kilometer), promptly to set up model with ISO is relevant with process, thus the abstraction process or the actual life of expression such as shop equipment, process, thought or system.Mechanical hook-up, electronic installation, controlled process, abstract calculating or can Be Controlled or optimization almost anything can be represented with ISO10.
With regard to the Process Control System of current techniques, ISO10 uses expert system object 12 based on computing machine, is a kind of specialized control program, and its uses inference engine and programming rule to come effect near an expert operator in calculating and carry out the one group of step that comprises setting optimization setting point.In most preferred embodiment, only there is an expert system object 12.Expert system object 12 can utilize one or more rule-based knowledge bases 13.Expert system object 12 provides an intelligent script environment (intelligentscripting environment), be used for influencing the behavior of ISO10 in adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention, and the modelling, prediction, optimization and the control that are used to realize and encourage ISO10.In addition, expert system object 12 provides a script environment, is used to make detecting device object 25 intelligence to be kept at the data that ISO10 meets with or produces in the whole time.Expert system object 12 can carry out " memory " by the relevant data of storage and they operation itself.These data can be by other in house software object or other ISO10 visit among the ISO10 identical with described expert system object 12, but cannot be directly by described user access.
No matter the those of ordinary skill in this professional skill field is appreciated that an expert system rule blurs or distinct, all reflected the element of expert's knowledge, text books relation, process model and area shops equipment knowledge.As shown in Figure 1, expert system object 12 rule-based knowledge bases 13 can use distinct rule 14, fuzzy rule 16 one or both of to go the knowledge of regulation itself and its state variable, regulation is considered the knowledge of ISO10 in house software object interaction in ISO10, regulation considers with the mutual knowledge of other ISO10 and regulation itself and it how to become the meta-knoeledge (meta-knowledge) of " living " in described computing environment and adaptive optimization software systems.Expert system object 12 can also provide a kind of ability, can (for example, its state select in whole set of) past, current and predicted value, and influence the behavior of ISO10 according to the selection of being carried out in given it self.The rule-based knowledge base 13 of expert system object 12 comprises linguistics, mathematics and/or the semiology rule of describing with distinctness or ambiguous term, these all are and (for example can comprise business rules by user's configuration, if per unit cost>4, so, use relatively inexpensive materials) and habitual more control law is (for example, if state=overflow so, is connected valve).In addition, ambiguous term comprises fuzzy grammar and such as the usage of the Fuzzy logic design of fuzzy logic subordinate function and fuzzy set.
The key that in the adaptive optimization software systems, adopts process model be to guarantee described process model can be in the whole time accurately predicting by the performance of modelling process.The key feature of each ISO10 is to comprise functional and do not limit the method that is used to realize or provide that function.Adaptive model object 20 can use parallel, the adaptive model method for building up of some to go to provide desirable dirigibility, and these methods comprise empirical model, phenomenological model, first principle model, system identification model, neural network, linear regression and other method for establishing model.The ability of the one or more different method for establishing model of adaptive model object 20 parallel uses is advantages of the present invention.Because adaptive model object 20 can use different method for establishing model, so practical methods or method parameter can change in the whole time adaptively and automatically, like this, described method can adapt to the task that it is designed more accurate and effectively.
In most preferred embodiment, adaptive model object 20 uses the optimization method of neural network as them.The neural network of adaptive model object 20 " study " judges by the ability of described neural network, regulates the weights and/or the conjunctive tissue structure of neural network with data rule of thumb, produces " training " model whereby.20 uses of adaptive model object are trained with the corresponding training process of method of described adaptive model object 20 or are learnt; Different adaptive model methods have different training process.But in general, adaptive model object 20 uses each input in the training data relevant with described adaptive model object 20 gathered, come emulation, calculating or predict described training dataset close in that corresponding output.Adaptive model object 20 uses training process to upgrade described model parameter, so that the difference minimum between the output that is produced by adaptive model object 20 and the output of being write down.After carrying out suitable training, adaptive model object 20 uses so validity of the described adaptive model of generation of battery of tests data validation.The output of each in 20 emulation of adaptive model object, calculating or the prediction experiment data acquisition, and use the output that produces by described adaptive model and in described test figure set difference or the error between the output of this item, determine the ability of adaptive model, so that accurately emulation or predict described process.
Adaptive model object 20 can comprise by the data that they are operated self that relate to of training adaptive model by storage, carry out " memory ".For as the same ISO10 of adaptive model object 20 or other in house software object among other ISO10, these data can be accessed, still, cannot directly be visited by the user.
Each ISO10 has: the input state variable, and they provide the data that are used for the described model of initialization to described adaptive model; The output state variable, they are data that described adaptive model produces; The state of a control variable, they are data relevant with target and purpose.Each ISO10 comprises the ability of predicting its to-be by the adaptive model object 20 that concerns between one or more fallout predictor objects 18 and the understanding input relevant with fallout predictor object 18 or state of a control variable and the output state variable, and prerequisite is the statement that provides when precondition and required following condition.
Use its distinct methods, adaptive model object 20 produces various different, " competition " adaptive models of may mode finishing assignment of mission with best attempted; The fallout predictor object 18 relevant with described adaptive model object 20 selects to be best suited for for given sampling increment indivedual adaptive models of real data then.Sampling increment (sampling delta) can be as the time in most preferred embodiment, but also can be such as the quality that changes, volume, color, flow, sound or dollar etc.Fallout predictor object 18 and adaptive model object 20 have how " study " set up model for their represented processes ability, fortune require they to detecting device object 25 and other ISO10 and 25 inquiries of their detecting device object by fallout predictor object 18 and the required data of adaptive model object 20 employed training methods.Fallout predictor object 20 can carry out " memory " by the relevant data of storage and they self operation.For as other in house software object or other ISO10 among the same ISO10 of fallout predictor object 20, these data can be accessed, but do not allow the user directly to visit.
Though each adaptive model is competed each other, by instructing other ISO10 promptly to provide the model 24 of being trained to other ISO10, ISO10 collaborative work in ISO10 and the hierarchy level identical or inequality, thereby allow a given ISO10 to use the model 24 of the quilt training of another ISO10, and collaborative work is to realize the target and the function of self-adaptation, object-oriented software system.
The optimizing process control system must play the optimal control effect in the mode consistent with management objectives.In the present invention, optimizer object 22 uses fallout predictor object 18 selected optimal self-adaptive models, determines to be used for realizing the optimal value of desired ISO10 to-be condition, for example controls set point.The selected optimal self-adaptive model of fallout predictor object is to be the best model of the process foundation relevant with this optimizer object 22 under the condition of the current state that provides ISO10 output.Optimizer object 22 can use the optimization method of some; In most preferred embodiment, optimizer object 22 uses generic (genetic) algorithm that their adaptive ability is provided.
Optimizer object 22 also can influence the in house software object of other ISO10.For example, optimizer object 22 can influence expert system object 12 by rule, fuzzy logic subordinate function or the fuzzy set of revising expert system object 12, maybe can influence adaptive model object 20 by revising employed adaptive model method for building up.Optimizer object 22 can carry out " memory " by the relevant data of storage and they operation itself.For as other in house software object or other ISO among the same ISO10 of optimizer object 22, these data can be accessed, but can not directly be visited by described user.
ISO10 can also comprise the detecting device object 25 of any amount, with the input and output state of collection, storage and managing I SO10.Detecting device object 25 is used as data-carrier store and retrieval impact damper (datastorage and retrieval moderator), and it can provide the current data and the historical data of ISO10 of reflection or real world equipment current state for ISO10 and its in house software object; More abstract says, current data can be the computational data such as the per unit most current cost, and whether providing of historical data can be by user or ISO configuration itself.Each detecting device object 25 can comprise a plurality of built-in state variables, and they comprise that expression ISO10 software represents that the state variable (being the real world detector value) in the external world of self, ISO10 self determine the state variable of (being computing) and the state variable that other ISO10 provides.The economic scene variable is the significant capability of each ISO10.The economic scene variable is a new state variable based on the cost of the calculated value of for example " per unit " or other state variable.Detecting device object 25 also keeps the history and the statistical knowledge of the own state variable of ISO10, and these knowledge comprise the value of ISO10 and the built-in expression and the knowledge of cost.
As impact damper, detecting device object 25 can filtering, calculating is with statistics ground deal with data and storage data and provide with ISO10 and use relevant storage data.ISO10 maintains a detecting device object 25 respectively to each state variable of the state variable that comprises each instrument relevant with ISO10 or actuator.Detecting device object 25 can comprise: " input " detecting device, and it will be managed as the input data and to it by the ISO10 received data; " output " detecting device, its with ISO10 in or data of output relevant and it is managed; Use communication translater object 26, the data in the detecting device object 25 can with the real world equipment opening relationships such as instrument or actuator, thereby between the ISO10 and the described world, set up contact.Detecting device object 25 can for example store and cushion the single value data of " 1 " or for example variable codomain or collective data, comprise the color data of red, blue and green value set etc.Detecting device object 25 also is the main in house software object of ISO10, and it allows to have the user interface of ISO10 data.
In addition, detecting device object 25 is stored in adaptive model prediction, adaptive mode shape parameter and/or the adaptive model state of the ISO10 that uses in the ISO10.ISO10 also keeps output or the result from all fallout predictor objects 18 and optimizer object 22 as the ISO10 state.In the process of finishing the target that is included in the described rule description among the expert system object 12, described expert system object 12 can accumulate and use the data of detecting device object 25.Though the data of detecting device object 25 are integer, floating number, character string, symbol, logic symbol or their any arrangement normally, detecting device object 25 can be stored a table of entire I SO10, any one ISO10 in house software object or ISO10 or their in house software object.
As shown in Figure 1, each ISO10 also comprises communication translater object 26.Described communication translater object 26 can be between ISO10 and one need be by the given real world process of real time monitoring or control or elements, between ISO10 and abstract data source (for example calculated or by the data source of emulation) and/or between an ISO10 and other ISO synchronously or communication asynchronously.Therefore, communication translater object 26 can be according to the request of adaptive optimization software systems, carry out synchronously or asynchronous communication through serial line interface, parallel interface, lan interfaces, Wide Area Network interface and other hardware interface, these hardware interfaces are including, but not limited to radio frequency (RF) technology, modulator-demodular unit, satellite, electric wire, optical fiber and telemetry.
The communication of communication translater object 26 can be coding or noncoding according to the ability of receiving entity.Communication between ISO10 is encoded for according to the rules the agreement of described ISO10.Communication between ISO10 and non-ISO by that non-ISO (for example can meet, the vision of quantity, alphanumeric, text, character string, pictures and sounds or non-visual representation) needed any one agreement, these agreements comprise serial data, parallel data, LAN (Local Area Network) and wan protocol.When ISO10 ran into a new input source, communication translater object 26 also provided a new mechanism, by means of this mechanism, a plurality of new means of communication can be added on the ISO10 successively.Consider the data that they are operated oneself by storage, communication translater object 26 can " be remembered ".For as other in house software object or other ISO10 among the same ISO10 of described communication translater object 26, these data can be accessed, but cannot directly be visited by described user.
Though through communication translater 26 and other ISO10 and real world devices communicating, ISO10 in house software element is understood the attribute and the behavior of ISO10 in house software object to ISO10, and can directly communicate by letter with other ISO10 in house software element usually.For example, if request msg is understood and how to be known to the optimizer object that is disposed in an ISO10 22, then this optimizer object 22 can send data to the optimizer object 22 of another ISO10, and the intervention of the translater 26 that do not need to communicate by letter.
Each ISO10 is mutual with its environment and other ISO10 in every way.ISO10 has the ability of generation itself or copy itself, perhaps can be copied, condition be provide comprise relate to ISO10 self with it how with the meta-knoeledge of the ISO self of the mutual relevant rule of computer environment and other ISO10.As long as the support of computing environment ability is parallel and/or distributed process, in fact ISO10 just can survive under distributed situation and work.Therefore, ISO10 can be established also any old place in " being present in " one or more computer systems, and, if described computer system can provide a communicator that can be subjected to outside or internal control, described ISO10 can with also be that to be present in other ISO10 of any old place in that computer system or these computer systems mutual.In this manner, ISO10 can be connected to or be embedded within the physics things with the classification encapsulation that needs controlled process.For example, ISO10 can be embedded into (physics setting) in a physical equipment, be provided for described ISO10 state whereby and be positioned at the status detection input of other ISO10 outside the described physical equipment that it is embedded into, thereby convert the physical entity of the described ISO10 of comprising to the intelligent physical entity.The ISO10 that is arranged in the setting of described physical equipment physics has special application the robot field.
In addition, use the ISO10 of detecting device object 25 data, fallout predictor object 18 and adaptive model object 20, can emulation and/or the following process performance of prediction and determine that the ISO10 of following process performance sets up the validity of model.Therefore, described adaptive optimization software systems can be used by simulation model; Under described simulation model, can be used to replace the data of real world detecting device and actuator by emulation and/or calculated detecting device and actuator data.For the emulation of reality or abstract system is by ISO10 being estimated or the model of inquiry reality or abstract things or system, or by estimating and/or carrying out alternately with reality or the relevant rule of abstract things.
The user at first can be configurable ground or in real time with the ISO10 interface, to revise or to replace alternatively described rule, target and optimization criterion.In addition, expert system object 12, optimizer object 22, fallout predictor object 18 and adaptive model object 22 be intercommunication and mutual mutually adaptively each other, automatically real time altering each other behavior and do not need artificial intervention, these behaviors comprise sets up and deletes other in house software project; For example, optimizer object 22 can be revised the rule-based knowledge base 13 of expert system object 12, and expert system object 12 can be revised the optimization aim of the optimizer object 22 that need be searched.
Because the adaptive characteristic of described ISO10 is so adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention have the ability of given problem being set up new solution.The expert system object 12 that acts under knowledge, target and process that comprises in expert system object 12 rule-based knowledge bases 13 and the specific ISO10 state value can be set up, revise or or even breaking-up fallout predictor object 18, adaptive model object 20, optimizer object 22, communication translater object 26 and detecting device object 25.The ability of other ISO10 internal object rule of ISO10 in house software object modification, method and optimization criterion, the model and the realization that allow adaptive optimization software systems that are made of described ISO10 to change it are real-time dynamicly optimized, and needn't stop step or the described Process Control System that controlled process is carried out.
ISO10 comes " study " by continuing map and rebuilding the I/O relation.In rule, model and the equation that uses by described ISO10 any one can with ISO10 can the whole time adapt to automatically and change in response to model prediction and the practical detector of generation the prediction after read between the form of built-in measurement of error represent.Therefore, no matter version how, its model of modification that ISO10 can both be continuous, with better with these model maps to by its each detecting device object 25 continuous recording multidimensional fact (multidimensional reality).
In addition, adaptive model object 20 allows optimizer object 22 to be identified for " top condition " of a given sampling increment.If the model of adaptive model object 20 comprises be used to describe by the physical Design and the function of the represented entity of ISO10 and influence the design parameter of performance, then can actually use the optimization method of ISO10 to go to create to be used to the better mode of the ISO10 that reaches its basic task.
Each ISO10 is presented the definition of it oneself " appropriateness (fitness) " or performance objective or purpose.Described appropriateness, promptly localize performance objective can based on economy, based on arithmetic function, based on rule or set arbitrarily by the user during ISO10 in configuration.During carrying out initial configuration by the user or by one of software scripts template, these targets or purpose are prescribed and activate, can also be by the user, use the expert system object 12 or optimizer object 22 real time alterings of self rule-based knowledge base 13.
In adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention, ISO10 can also influence other ISO10.Except the model of training it, provide the model of being trained, regular collection, fuzzy logic subordinate function or by having thought employed target of ISO10 and the purpose that other effective with correct ISO10 optimizer object 22 is communicated by letter to transmitting ISO10, ISO10 can train or instruct other ISO10 by ISO10 to other.ISO10 can also become receiving entity expression to understand to instruct by expression (for example, the mathematical model) map that will be encoded.An example like this is the output that the multi-dimensional surface map of ISO10 input is become to comprise the language in distinct expression or fuzzy being illustrated in.Can also convert mathematical notation to and described result is depicted as bidimensional, three-dimensional or four-dimensional shape from the language representation.
Similarly, by transmitting appropriateness or performance objective or purpose to other ISO10, ISO10 can influence those ISO10 in the described adaptive optimization software systems.
The present invention includes a graphical user interface intuitively, be used to provide a formatting process, with regulation ISO10 interconnect and will be by the objective function of ISO10 inter-process, appropriateness criterion and target.In order to form adaptive optimization software systems, the method that the user uses the user interface of described adaptive optimization software systems to dispose, stipulate and the ISO10 in house software object selecting to be enabled and initial parameters, target and the in house software object that will be enabled use.One group parameter, target and the method initial according to ISO10, the user selects, disposes and enable one group of internal object and stipulate a group of parameter, target and method that they are initial, to be created in that ISO10 and need to be monitored and the process of optimal control or the physical relationship between other ISO10.Described user continues this process, till described user thinks that to needs controlled process is set up the satisfied model of other people fully.
Specifically, arrive shown in Figure 8 as Fig. 2, the user can need the mode of the order of information communication between the Be Controlled element to dispose two or more ISO10 or organize ISO10 more with imitation, promptly, they are to set up " flow process " ISO10 that model or expression ground connect corresponding to the relation that needs Be Controlled material or information flow.The connection imbody of flow process ISO10 be reflected in the characteristic of the sequence flow of information between the element (tangible or invisible) or material, and be used to communicate and keep control them with abstract equipment and/or real world process.
Use graphical user interface of the present invention, the user can also be configurablely with two or more ISO10 or organize ISO10 more and connect into the classification set of relationship, make these ISO10 become " classification " ISO10, stipulate priority and scale relationships between ISO10 or the ISO10 group then." classification " ISO10 is by the higher rank value or the higher-priority of the set of for example higher optimization aim of configuration, logically encapsulates one group of other ISO10, and makes more senior abstract the specializing in the described adaptive optimization software systems.Though " classification " ISO10 that is prescribed and other ISO10 in their classifications communicate,, the ISO10 of classification also can be configured to group of other ISO10, the ISO10 in their classifications not or real world devices communicating or not communicate by letter.
Therefore, ISO10 can be used as " flow process " ISO10, " classification " ISO10 or have flow process ISO10 and " classification flow process " ISO10 of classification ISO10 binding characteristic is connected.The ability of ISO10 among logic encapsulation (being classification relationship) another ISO10 allows the in fact unlimited classification in the ISO10 hierarchy.Because each ISO10 can have the in fact detecting device object 25 of unlimited amount, and the ISO10 of described in fact unlimited amount can the invention provides the in fact component-level process control set-point of unlimited amount when flow process connects each other.Therefore, after a user had been configured with initialization adaptive optimization software systems, " flow process " ISO10 related to process, the equipment and abstract that for example motor or per unit cost etc. need Be Controlled and/or optimization.In addition, in the ordinary course of things, the user is with an adaptive optimization software systems configuration and be initialized as many groups of " flow process " ISO10 that form hierarchy, need the higher and more senior abstract of Be Controlled and optimizing process so that form, and next represent total system by adaptive optimization software systems of the present invention control, for example, motor ISO10, driving shaft ISO10 and wheel ISO10 are organized into the hierarchy that expression drives train ISO10, and driving train ISO10 and other ISO10 or ISO10 organize together with expression and control a train.
In most preferred embodiment, each ISO10 concentrates level and the following level to ISO10 described in the hierarchy to be optimized; ISO10 on the lowest hierarchical structure level concentrates and carries out the highly optimization of localization.The optimization that progressively enlarge, that scope is wideer of higher levels in each hierarchy, searching in the process senior, more general objectives up to described adaptive optimization software systems and to arrive the summit promptly till the highest ISO10 in hierarchy (" pyramid "), thereby carrying out the optimization of " whole process " or system scope.In this manner, utilize the adaptive optimization software systems of described ISO10 to provide the part (element) and the omnidistance or comprehensive target that constitute a powerful unified optimizing process control system with Process Control System to search behavior, can realize simultaneously and can comprise whole process, the comprehensive consistent optimization of user's define objective of business goal.By user's initial configuration or by the hierarchy characteristic of the present invention that ISO10 or user's real-time adaptive are revised, provide desired optimization concurrently from all levels of described hierarchy that are optimized to optimization the wideest, omnidistance level special, oriented-component, narrow boundling.It can also make the user to be different from the hierarchy that head-to-foot mode disposes ISO10 or adaptive optimization software systems flexibly and at random.
A main target of described adaptive optimization software systems is, automatically use ISO10 specific optimisation objective function and concentrate on target omnidistance, that manage the system scope of definition more, to be identified for doing the optimizing process set-point of as a whole described system.Therefore, comprise the self-adaptation of the ISO10 that is configured to flow process ISO10, classification ISO10 and classification flow process ISO10 relation, OO Optimization Software system, the optimization aim of setting up at real-time process, estimate the total system performance continuously, automatically adapt to and revise rule and the method for each ISO10, so that reach user's define objective that can comprise whole process, comprehensive business goal.In this manner, the present invention and the management object as one man described process of Automatic Optimal and system and do not need artificial lasting intervention.Because adaptive model object 20 can use multiple parallel competitive model method for building up, comprise that the adaptive optimization software systems of ISO10 can realize parallel multistage optimization.
For example, an enterprise can have two operation factories.Described user can interrelate an ISO10 and this enterprise on the whole, as first or top hierarchy " pyramid " ISO10; An ISO10 and each independent factory are interrelated, as the next one in the described hierarchy lower or second level.Even each among the ISO10 of the second level can have their optimal control target, these optimal control targets can not realize the optimization of system scope.Five-star ISO10 is that enterprise-level ISO10 can influence each second level ISO10, makes the optimal control target maximization of enterprise-level on the whole, rather than makes each second level ISO10 keep their optimal control target separately.
In addition, a self-adaptation object-oriented Optimization Software system can be used to the process of emulation real world, and can train the terminal user in by the operation of emulation real world process or work.
