Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Whilst current research of the area of project planning and control is concentrating on using more advanced techniques of knowledge representation, through the use of object-oriented programming techniques, blackboard architectures, and fuzzy logic, the problem of capturing and storing knowledge of experiences and decisions made as a historical database for future use, remains to be addressed. The lack of a systematic approach to storing past plans and problems that were encountered together with the solutions that were used to overcome these problems means that plans have to be produced from scratch every time a new project is to be planned. We propose to investigate the potential offered by a new approach termed case-based reasoning (CBR) to address this problem. Case-based reasoning is a technique of solving new problems by adapting solutions that were used to sole previous ones. Our intention is to develop a conceptual framework together with a demonstrable prototype, convincing enough to persuade industry to adopt CBR as a innovative approach to decision support in project management.
