Overview

This edited book is directed primarily to the discussion of the most recent developments and on-going research related to all areas pertaining to plant surveillance and diagnosis. The secondary aim of this book is to identify the successful applications of already well-settled methodological tools in the field. It will highlight advantages of intelligent systems, AI techniques, and integration of soft computing tools and traditional tools, for a better service in all aspects related to power plant surveillance and diagnostics. It also reports recent research results and provides a state of the art on AI in power plant surveillance and diagnostics. The book especially focuses on theoretical and analytical solutions to the problems of real interest in AI techniques, possibly combined with other traditional computing tools.
