Title: | Using Artificial Intelligence as a Decision Support System in School Administration: The Development of an Expert System for Student Subject Selection | Contributor(s): | Bucknall, Ruary James (author); Marshall, Tony (supervisor); Anker, Maurice (supervisor); Fitzgerald, Donald (supervisor); Walker, Alan (supervisor); Cameron, Jim (supervisor) | Conferred Date: | 1996 | Copyright Date: | 1995 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16282 | Abstract: | It is now relatively common for schools to use computers for clerical purposes, and they have been demonstrably successful in supporting these tasks. Nevertheless the potential for computers to analyse data and provide recommendations from which decisions can be made has been greatly under-utilised. The aim of this research project is to ascertain whether computerised decision support systems, such as expert systems, can be developed to assist in the administration of schools. Reports in the literature suggest they should and thus a central research problem was to demonstrate that they could. Resolution of this problem involved several elements: (1) modelling a specific decision making domain in a school, (2) designing and implementing an expert system to assist decision making in this domain, and (3) evaluating the expert system to validate its recommendations and compare its performance with the current system and human experts. | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Rights Statement: | Copyright 1995 - Ruary James Bucknall | HERDC Category Description: | T2 Thesis - Doctorate by Research |
