Research on the Recommendation System of Engineering Consulting Service Based on the CBR and QBS
Qiu Zhao-hong · Journal of Engineering Management · 2010
This paper developed and implemented an engineering project consulting service recommendation system which combines the Case-Based Reasoning(CBR) with Quality-Based Selection(QBS).The important attributes of the construction projects were extracted to express the projects and build the project case database.The information about the engineering consulting firms and experts were collected to establish the corresponding database.The dynamic analytic hierarchy process(AHP) was adopted to determine the weight of the attributes.The similar cases were retrieved by the indexical and similarity retrieval mechanism.The engineering consulting services information of the similar projects was selected to recommend to the new projects.The numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed CBR system is effective,which can offer useful references for the project decision-making.
