Expert System

Work Package 1: Expert system as information platform for innovative and widely applicable strategies, technologies and solutions

The WP1 main objective is the development of an expert system collecting all available information concerning brownfields rehabilitation processes. Therefore, in order to enhance brownfield regeneration processes on the basis of the improvement of existing methods, technologies, tools, and focusing on in-situ and on-site, cost effective and energy saving remediation technologies, WP1 will develop an expert system for the collection, analysis and classification of already available information on brownfields (i.e accessible literature, data and further information on previous projects, programs and other activities dealing with the regeneration of brownfields). The expert system will allow easy accesses and an intuitive interface to collect information from/for all partners and end-users.

As reported in the following image, the steps for the development of the expert system are: i) the development of a EU-wide inventory of practicable solutions, technologies and instruments for brownfield regeneration; ii) the design of the timbre web database; iii) the evaluation and ranking of the collected approaches, methods and tools for brownfield regeneration; iv) the identification of methodological and technological gaps and v) the development of the expert system interfaces.
