From page 27...
... The state of practice in the field exhibits the characteristics associated with "smart" systems, as distributed processors feature embedded low-level logic systems that trigger alerts in response to single value break points, or level-based go/no-go indicators, and report these alerts to supervisory human operators through IT-enabled communication channels. Decisions about how to respond to such alerts are made by human operators based on their knowledge of the process and reasoned judgment.

... the supply chain or production system logistical level. The speakers in this session introduce and explore cognitive manufacturing as an emerging frontier of engineering science that integrates domain knowledge from industrial and systems engineering, manufacturing process science, computer learning, information technology, adaptive control theory, biologically inspired system design, and environmentally cognizant design and sustainability.
