Human–computer co-operative risk management systems

Abstract

This paper presents a new concept, a ‘human-computer co-operative system’, as the next-generation knowledge-based system for application to project risk management. It first discusses the characteristics of project risks followed by the development of a common expert system for managing such risks. Then, system limitations are identified in terms of knowledge association, and a ‘human–computer co-operative system’ is proposed to overcome these limitations by explicitly incorporating human intuitive ability into the computer system. Finally, evaluations of the human–computer co-operative system are also described.
