Knowledge-based approach to intelligent alarms.
The goal of intelligent alarms is not only to recognize potentially dangerous situations, but to discriminate whether the condition is truly threatening or has resulted from nonthreatening causes, such as artifacts. The authors describe a knowledge-based approach in the development of intelligent alarms, using complex guidelines that simulate human reasoning and follow "if, then" rules of problem solving.
