From the article: Abstract—By using agent technology, a versatile and modular monitoring system can be built. In this paper, such a multiagentbased monitoring system will be described. The system can be trained to detect several conditions in combination and react accordingly. Because of the distributed …

On board the vessels of Holland America Line a lot of attention is drawn to prevent the loss of energy. On board energy is produced in several ways by fuel. Therefor fuel is the biggest expense of a cruise ship. On board steam is used for heating purposes. The type of steam used for these heating purposes …
