This report presents the results of an investigation into the development of a Management Information System (MIS) for underground coal mines. The intent of the project was to examine the information issues, various design aspects, and associated application concerns of an integrated monitoring MIS, such as the impact of this technology on safety. The report is presented in five chapters and describes ventilation MIS system requirements, the formulation of a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) structure to implement the integrated ventilation monitoring MIS system, and the health and safety implications of the system.
