ABSTRACTAN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONUSING BLACKBOARD ARCHITECTUREKEREM BURAK TÜNAYThis thesis implements control architecture for goal-driven blackboard systems. Thearchitecture is based on searching a general goal tree by diminishing into sub-goal trees. Theaim is to develop a problem solving architecture in the AI space via blackboard system. Thebasic elements of the architecture are goals, policies, strategies, facts, methods, andknowledge sources. The basic control loop employs a bidding mechanism to determine theknowledge source to be executed at the current cycle. A policy is a local scheduling criterionwhich guides to bidding process and it indicates which of the attributes of the knowledgesources are relevant in this process. A strategy is a global scheduling criteria such as depth-first, breadth-first etc. A method is a partially complete general goal tree structurerepresenting high level knowledge on how to solve a problem. The architecture employs acontrol blackboard, and separate knowledge sources for the control problem and forrepresenting the domain knowledge.A production planning application is developed using this architecture. Both C++ andABAP languages were used to implement this application.Keywords: Blackboard systems, artificial intelligence, AI search algorithms, collaboratingsoftware, C++, SAP, ABAP, production planning.
