A web-based CSCW system for remote substation fault diagnosis

Abstract

Relying on Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) technology, expert system (ES) can extend its capabilities from only one working to set up a cooperative labor environment for a group of expert systems working together. In order to more effectively support those remote substations fault diagnosis as well as related departments involvements. Web-based CSCW systems are intensively recommended. The paper for that proposes a framework of CSCW system with Web-based for remote substation fault diagnosis. The system applies Multi-Agent (MA) technology to construct distributed expert systems platform, and presents the collaboration and communication framework of the platform using J21EE. The system is applied in remote substation fault diagnosis, and is proved very effective. Copyright © 2006 International Federation for Information Processing.
