Bums and Hazzan demonstrated tlie use of event tree and fault tree analysis in tlie study of a potential accident sequence leading to a toxic vapor release at an industrial chemical process plant. The initiator of tlie accident sequence studied is event P, the failure of a plant programmable automatic controller. Tliis event, in conjunction willi the success or failure of a process water system (a glycol cooling system) mid an operator-manual shutdown of tlie distillation system produced minor, moderate, or major release of toxic material as indicated in Fig. 21.4.1. The symbols W, G, O represent tlie events listed ...

With the view that a KBS interpreter is a method for mapping from input data in the form of intermediate symbolic state descriptions to labels of interest, four families of approaches are described here, each offering inference mechanisms and related knowledge representations that can be used to solve interpretation problems namely, model-based approaches, digraphs, fault trees, and tables. These methods have been heavily used... 

Every space group listed in the family tree corresponds to a structure. Since the space group symbol itself states only symmetry, and gives no information about the atomic positions, additional information concerning these is necessary for every member of the family tree (Wyckoff symbol, site symmetry, atomic coordinates). The value of information of a tree is rather restricted without these data. In simple cases the data can be included in the family tree in more complicated cases an additional table is convenient. The following examples show how specifications can be made for the site occupations. Because they are more informative, it is advisable to label the space groups with their full Hermann-Mauguin symbols.
