“…Future research studies need to conduct for selection of the best optimization algorithms for particular MSMA Design Aid and Database System selection processes. These optimization algorithms should also consider model runtimes and data handling capacities [7]. It is important for sustainability of MSMA Design Aid and Database System for the developer to consider the initial purchase price, upgrades and costs for on-going training and maintenance of the program are important criteria in model selection.…”

Abstract. Rapid urbanization has known to have several adverse impacts towards hydrological cycle due to increasing impervious surface and degradation of water quality in stormwater runoff. In the past, urban waterways have been confined to narrow river corridors with the channels canalised and concrete and other synthetic materials forming the bed and banks of the river. Apart from that, stormwater pollutants such as litter, debris and sediments in drainage system are common problems that can lead to flooding and the degradation of water quality. To solve this problem, implementing stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) proves very promising due to its near natural characteristics and multiple effects on the drainage of stormwater runoff in urban areas. This judgment of using BMPs depends on not only relevant theoretical considerations, but also a large amount of practical experience and the availability of relevant data, as well. To fulfil this task, the so-called Decision Support System (DSS) in MSMA Design Aid and Database system are able to assist engineers and developers in management and improvement of water quantity and quality entering urban rivers from urban regions. This system is also helpful when an expert level judgment procure some repetitive and large amount of cases, like in the planning of stormwater BMPs systems for an entire city catchment. One of the advantages of an expert system is that it provides automation of expertlevel judgement using availability of checking tools system.

“…The linking of the GIS-supported framework to knowledge bases, as the lichen ontology developed by the authors, enhances the semantic interoperability of the latter, since ontologies seem to be an adequate methodology that helps to define a common ground between different information communities (Seder et al, 2000;Irving and Moncrieff, 2004;Saunders et al, 2005). This paper describes an example of biosurveillance and an ontology that serves as the basis for carrying out such schemes.…”

This paper presents the design, development and implementation of an integrated GIS-controlled knowledge-based system for environmental monitoring applications, utilizing indigenous flora for assessing quality. The system gathers and combines geographical, ecological, and physicochemical data of organisms' response to pollution within an intelligent computer program that (a) recognises groups of indigenous species suitable for long-term monitoring of a specific pollutant or a combination of pollutants, (b) estimates the ambient concentration of pollutant(s) from the population of the species comprising the bioindicator group and (c) provides biomonitoring capacity indices at national and international/transboundary levels. Significantly, a novel system in the form of a rational framework at the conceptual design level has been developed, that actually contributes towards achieving a cost-effective long-term biomonitoring program, with the flexibility to counter on-course any (anticipated or not) variations/modifications of the surveillance environment: the scheme assumes a robust dynamic cooperation between instrumental and biomonitoring systems, with a view to minimise uncertainty and monitoring costs and increase reliability of pollution control and abatement, aiming eventually at the shifting, partially or totally, from instrumental to natural monitoring. The proposed approach is presently implemented at pilot-scale for establishing a biomonitoring network at a large industrial area in Greece. The results obtained indicate that a cost-effective program can be only attained and maintained under a suitable financial/organizational scheme at the macro level, whereas the micro level viability strongly depends upon careful management of human resources and fixed assets.

“…It was a knowledge-based system which used fuzzy rules based on expert systems to integrate quantitative and qualitative reasoning methods [43], where time to answer must be considered [25]. Despite the undeniable effectiveness of this methodology, its main drawback is the possibility that inappropriate extraction of knowledge from one or more experts (when they provide the rules) can compromise the whole work.…”
