General Atomics Selects Gensym G2 Rule Engine for Power Systems Management; G2-based Solution to Help Ensure Availability and Readiness of Mission-Critical Facilities.BURLINGTON, Mass. -- Gensym Corporation (company) Gensym Corporation - A company that supplies software and services for intelligent operations management. Common applications include quality management, process optimisation, dynamic scheduling, network management, energy and environmental management, and process (OTC Bulletin Board OTC Bulletin Board An electronic quotation listing of the bid and asked prices of OTC stocks that do not meet the requirements to be listed on the NASDAQ stock-listing system. : GNSME), a leading provider of rule engine software for mission-critical solutions, today announced that its partner General Atomics General Atomics is a nuclear physics and defense contractor headquartered in San Diego, California. Among other things, it is the manufacturer of the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). (GA), one of the world's leading resources for high-technology systems development, has selected Gensym's flagship G2(R) rule-engine software for a new intelligent power system management solution. GA's G2-based solution is designed to help keep critical electric power systems operational, enhance safety, and reduce maintenance and manpower costs by predicting onset of failures, automating troubleshooting Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving. It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved. Troubleshooting is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. and enhancing the training of personnel. "Electric power and other auxiliary systems are vital in supporting continuous operation of mission critical functions for systems such as Navy ships, air traffic control centers, offshore platforms, medical facilities and production facilities," said Mike Reed Professor G. Mike Reed is an American computer scientist and Director of UNU/IIST, Macau, part of the United Nations University since 2005. Previously he was at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory where he was also a Fellow in Computation of St Edmund Hall, Oxford , vice president with GA's Electromagnetic Systems (EMS) Division. "Such operations cannot afford any type of unexpected disruption. Keeping their critical and complex systems operational requires constant vigilance VIGILANCE. Proper attention in proper time. 2. The law requires a man who has a claim to enforce it in proper time, while the adverse party has it in his power to defend himself; and if by his neglect to do so, he cannot afterwards establish such claim, the for the health of the overall system and its components and requires timely and effective responses to problems as they are detected." The G2-based solution, Intelligent System Management Engine or ISME ISME International Society for Music Education ISME Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association ISME International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems ISME Iranian Society of Mechanical Engineers ISME Inter-Segment Message Exchange ISME Imaging, Simulation, Modeling & Experimentation , provides a comprehensive architecture that helps ensure system availability and readiness at all times by mimicking the approach of human experts for analyzing and solving problems. At the core is a model-based reasoning In artificial intelligence, model-based reasoning refers to an inference method used in expert systems based on a model of the physical world. Knowledge representation In a model-based reasoning system knowledge is repesented using causal rules. engine that analyzes system operation in real time; provides operating staff with root cause analysis, potential impacts and recovery advice; proactively predicts problems and schedules maintenance; and enables simulation-based training. G2's real-time reasoning capabilities and proven reliability are ideal for our solution requirements. The initial focus of the ISME development effort will be on the analysis and health monitoring of mission critical electrical power systems. The resulting architecture is referred to as the Intelligent Power System Management Engine (IPSME). The initial generic deployment of the IPSME application will be for the health management and root cause diagnostics of next- generation shipboard ship·board n. 1.

"We are excited to be partnering with GA," said Bob Ashton, Gensym's interim president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "GA is one of the world's premier high-technology companies and a company that truly understands how to deliver mission-critical solutions. Their work is an outstanding application of our leading real-time rule engine technology. I am pleased that they are collaborating with another partner of ours, Knowledge Systems Design, based in California, who has deep experience in applying G2-based reasoning technologies. We look forward to working with GA as they bring their solution to market."
