In this chapter we outline a generic neuro-expert system (GENUES) architecture for hybrid reasoning. The architecture consists of five phases, namely, decomposition phase, control phase, decision phase, preprocessing phase, and postprocessing phase. The architecture is particularly applicable in time critical diagnostic/classification domains and data intensive domains in general. We describe the application of GENUES in a real time alarm processing system in a power system control centre.
