Abstract
Knowledge based expert systems (KBESs) have been increasingly recognized as an effective tool for solving many problems in the construction industry. When developing a KBES for a specific construction problem, it is important to understand the range of available techniques for KBES development and select the most appropriate one for the problem. This paper discusses five widely used KBES development techniques in terms of their strengths and limitations. Potential application areas for each technique are recommended. Guidelines for selecting a development technique are presented.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
