Abstract

Development of a decision support system for estuarine modelling using the case-based reasoning technology S. Passone', P.W.H. Chung* & V. Nassehi* ' Chemical Engineering Department, Loughborough University, UK * Computer Science Department, Loughborough University, UK Abstract Computer modelling is regarded as an important investigative tool in the formulation of correct guidelines and effective environmental policies for estuaries. Its ability in revealing important aspects of the estuarine dynamics under different conditions has provided strong motivation for the use and success of this approach. However, computer models are normally developed for specific cases, which limits their applicability. Integration of numerical modelling and artificial intelligence techniques has the potential for creating advanced computational environments to assist in design of models for coastal hydrodynamic systems. Case based reasoning is a knowledge-based technique, which helps t
