A METHODOLOGY TO DESIGN AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT.

摘要

This paper examines an al ternative approach to the analysis of the complex problems associated with the management of remote sensing technology. Soft Systems Methodology is introduced as an effective and efficient way of undertaking a systems analysis of interdependent technological and human processes. A systems model based on an Australian study is presented for remote sensing technology transfer. It is demonstrated that this model provides a practical framework upon which to develop a rules-based expert system. The paper draws attention to a new range of problem solving skills that are appropriate to the domains of expert systems and remote sensing. An evaluation is made of the success of this methodology.
