iTOPS: An intelligent tool for operating procedures synthesis

PHASuite: An Automated HAZOP Analysis Tool for Chemical Processes

“…Srinivasan and Venkatasubramanian (1998) adopted Petri Net representation and SDG based HAZOP analysis for batch processes, and developed the system BatchHazopExpert. At the same time, iTOPS, an intelligent tool for operating procedure synthesis was developed by Viswanathan et al (1998). Since the operating procedure synthesis and safety analysis share a lot of information, a scheme for integrating iTOPS and BatchHa-zopExpert (BHE) was proposed by Zhao et al (2000).…”

A PDDL+ Benchmark Problem: The Batch Chemical Plant

“…the iTOPS (Viswanathan et al 1998b) tool for synthesising a detailed plan for a batch chemical process, or (Crooks and Macchietto 1992), where the goal of each subplan is solved as a mixed integer linear problem. However, the major issue of all these refinement-based techniques is that, when the model presents a large number of constraints, detecting their violation, the invalidated subplans and the corresponding possible corrections may quickly become a very hard task.…”

Model-based topology analysis for environmentally conscious power plant operation

“…This requires robust mechanism to evaluate these scenarios with the considerations of life cycle activities. There are several proposals for operation design such as AOPS and CAPE-Oper [7e9] and iTOPS [10], and others. Most of these solutions are based on structuring and evaluating operating procedures in view of structure availability, time, and cost.…”
