Abstract
The domain of geophysical seismic data processing is analyzed for
the applicability of artificial intelligence and knowledge engineering
techniques. The main area of use for this domain is in the search for
hydrocarbon deposits. The domain is characterized by large amounts of
data and processing to be done on them. The processes range over a
continuum from large volume signal processing to high level skilled
interpretation. Many different attributes vary across this range. It
is claimed that these attributes determine the style of processing and
reasoning appropriate at each stage. A prototype system in the mid-range
of the continuum has been developed. The prototype and its characteristics
are examined in light of this analysis.
