Claim One:
1. A method for controlling a process in a controlled system having at least one process sequence, comprising: supplying a plurality of input variables to a neural network having variable network parameters for precalculating a process parameter before the start of a process sequence; presetting a controlled system at the start of each process sequence as a function of said precalculated process parameter; measuring values for said input variables and said process parameter during said process sequence; supplying said measured input variable values after said process sequence to said neural network; calculating in said neural network a network response based on the measured input variables; calculating a deviation between said network response and said measured process parameter; and adapting said network parameters in said neural network to reduce said deviation wherein said adapting step takes place on-line, such that after each measuring step the measured input variable values and process parameter obtained are used for adaptation of the network parameters.
