Intelligent decision making

The process of engineering analysis, especially its preprocessing stage, comprises some knowledge-based tasks which influence the quality of the results greatly, require considerable level of expertise from an engineer; the support for these tasks by the contemporary CAE systems is limited. Analysis of the knowledge and reasoning involved in solving these tasks shows that the appropriate support for them by an automated system can be implemented using case-based reasoning (CBR) technology and ontological knowledge representation model. In this paper the knowledge-based system for intelligent support of the preprocessing stage of engineering analysis in the contact mechanics domain is presented which employs the CBR mechanism. The knowledge representation model is formally represented by the OWL DL ontology. Case representation model, case retrieval and adaptation algorithms for this model and the automated system are described.

A concept of intelligent support of decision making in waste management using knowledge-based approach was developed, which is a promising way to increase efficiency of waste management system in the cities. Analysis of the domain of waste management shows that the appropriate support of decision making can be implemented using contemporary technologies of artificial intelligent such as rule-based reasoning and ontology. In the paper a general scheme of the integration of this reasoning mechanism and ontology is suggested, as well the problems of domain knowledge representation are considered. Implementation of a prototype of intelligent decision support system in waste management using rule-based reasoning and ontology is described.
