On Approaches to Creating the Logical Inference Machines for Ensuring Compatibility and Integration of Systems and Controls

The article analyzes approaches to creating the logical inference machines to ensure compatibility and integration of the information systems in complex subject areas such as the energy industry. In the beginning, the article considers the logical inference machines capabilities in increasing reliability and transparency of the management processes, as well as improving the system integration. Next, a retrospective analysis of approaches to the construction of such machines is carried out. Special attention is paid to the conditions of application of each approach. Based on the analysis, the paper presents classification of the approaches according to the criteria of scalability, speed and resource consumption. In conclusion, it substantiates the advantages and effects of using the logical inference machines to ensure management of the complex systems and integration of the information flows.
