Abstract: AS water becomes relatively more scarce and as the cost of developing new sources of water increases, projects designed to reduce the quantities of water consumed (i.e, demand management projects) become more attractive ...

Abstract: PILOTE is a computer program that attempts to reproduce decisions of expert operators in scheduling outlet pumps at a water treatment plant near Paris, France. The program integrates both mathematical models and heuristics, ...

Abstract: A critiquing expert system provides computer-based–decision support for water-supply system operations of the San Francisco Water Department (SFWD). This implementation of expert-system methods augments the capabilities ...

Abstract: Twenty‐four previously unpublished expert systems are being developed for applications in environmental engineering. These new systems are summarized in three principal categories: hazardous waste management, water supply ...

Abstract: Although some expert systems utilize artificial intelligence languages such as LISP and PROLOG, many rely on commercially available expert systems development tools. Three categories of tools are examined: shells, programming ...

Abstract: The Delphi method is used to predict the impacts of three alternative transportation programs in San Jose, California. Variables projected concern both land use (e.g., number of single‐family housing units) and choice of ...

Abstract: A program to improve the sewer maintenance activities in a suburb of Paris, France, includes an expert system to diagnose the need for sewer repairs. Organizational constraints (e.g., insufficient funds for knowledge ...
