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

By Kiyoshi Niwa

Based on the author's ten years of research, development, and implementation of knowledge-based systems for project risk management, this book addresses the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to management, and attempts to attain a new level of AI and risk management for large construction projects. It presents a new concept--a human-computer cooperative system--as the next generation knowledge-based system for application to ill-structured management fields. The human-computer cooperative system incorporates human intuitive abilities into the computer system. A case study is used involving a risk management case for large construction projects with the resulting discussions and methods applicable to other management fields as well.
