Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of parthenium weed infestation in Queensland, Australia and describes P-Expert, an expert advisory system designed to provide expert knowledge in control and management strategies of parthenium weed. P-Expert is fundamentally a hybrid fuzzy expert system incorporating technologies from fuzzy logic, relational database and multimedia systems. The primary topic of this paper will be a description of the framework of P-Expert and its overall infrastructure, focusing on five main areas: (1) layered component architecture, (2) discourse semantics (explanatory capabilities), (3) meta-consequent fuzzy functions, (4) fuzzy forecasting of weed infestation, and (5) deployment of large scale expert advisory system.
