Active Control Knowledge REPository (ACKREP) Dokumentation
Traditionally, human knowledge is represented mainly in form of written natural language, symbolic formulas and pictures. The project ACKREP aims to supplement these representation forms with additional formal (i.e. machine interpretable) representations. The scope of this project is control theory and control engineering (subsumed under “automatic control”).
This discipline is characterized by a wide range of application fields from different physical domains and by a heterogeneous methodical landscape from different areas of mathematics, engineering and computer science.
Basically, the motivation for ACKREP is to facilitate knowledge transfer both
within the discipline of automatic control (i.e. within subdisciplines), as well as
with areas of potential application (e.g. mechanical engineering, chemical process engineering, etc.).
How best to achieve these goals is an open question and subject to ongoing research. More specifically, ACKREP Code constitutes a repository of control-related problems and solutions (represented as executable code). The Methodnet is a more abstract formal representation of control-theoretic methods which can be applied to a concrete setting by linking them via a path-finding algorithm.
This research is carried out at the Institute of Control Theory, TU Dresden.
