Knowledge-Based Risk Management in Engineering A Case Study in Human-Computer Cooperative Systems - Wiley Series in Engineering and Technology Management

This is a new, practical application of artificial intelligence to business: risk management for large construction projects. The author presents a common expert system, and shows how to apply it to ill-structured management domains. He then notes its weak points based on users' complaints, and proposes a human-computer cooperative system in order to incorporate human intuitive capacity into the computer system. The book contains a case study concerning risk management for large construction projects, although the methods described here are adaptable to other management fields.;This book is based on the author's extensive experience in developing and implementing knowledge- based systems for practical risk management in industry. This text will be of benefit to artificial intelligence researchers, knowledge engineers, project managers and graduate students of business and engineering.
