EXSCD, An Expert System for Construction Disputes (Dept.C)

The objective of this research paper is to provide a prototype expert system that can materially help to reduce the likelihood of construction disputes. The inputs of this system include many relevant factors that can adequately describe the construction project environment. The outputs of the proposed expert system will be in the form of a complete tabulation for the expected causes of construction disputes for the construction project under discussion. The different phases of the system development will be deeply discussed. Some guidelines will be systematically provided to show how can the suggested expert system can be operated. Finally, some selected case study applications will be provided to check the validity of the proposed system.
