Web-Based Expert System for Classification of Industrial and Commercial Waste Products

Author Joseph O. Dada, Hans-D. Kochs, Joerg Petersen

On Pages 257-262
Volume No. 2
Issue No. 6
Issue Date June 01, 2011
Publishing Date June 01, 2011
Keywords Web-based Expert System, Waste Classification, Knowledge Base, Knowledge Programming


Abstract

Industrial and commercial wastes must be classified at least two times on the way from the owner of the waste to the waste disposal facility in order to ensure that waste handling is in conformity with the law. Wastes classification as dangerous goods is very difficult because they consist of many components with diverse dangerous properties. This paper presents a Web-based expert system we developed for the classification of wastes to overcome this difficulty. It joins the expert system intelligent knowledge and the capability of the Web to put the knowledge of experts anywhere the expert can’t go. The system uses a set of if-then rules to classify waste.
