2. To the Pop community.
This is just a note to introduce ourselves. We are applying a range of AI
techniques to the control of plasma deposition. Plasma deposition is a
specialised technique for producing coatings (in our case, diamond-like
carbon). The project is sponsored by EPSRC for three years, and is now one
year old.
We have revived our Pop-11 Blackboard system (ARBS), whose previous uses were
for interpreting ultrasonic images and controlling a simulated
telecommunications network. We have arranged for the system, running on a
Sparc, to communicate with the plasma deposition hardware. Now we can really
start to concentrate on theintelligent control problem.
