| Descripción: | Backfill design is a multi-level, data/information/expertise intensive procedure involving various professional fields. During the life cycle of mining design and operation, a series of decisions are made based on the knowledge and personal experience. The success of mining design depends largely on knowledge available, and how knowledge is managed and processed. This thesis presents a conceptual backfill design rationale in a systematic approach in terms of basic information needs and data flow. Based on this representation, an integrated decision support system for backfill design is introduced. The underlying system is based on the integration of traditional databases, expert systems, hypermedia, and logical programming concepts consisting of the following components: (1) user interface, which creates the model of tasks and the application environment; (2) hypermedia-based reference manual, which supports non-linear access to backfill design reference manual of various formats; (3) expert systems which solve certain tasks based on heuristic rules; and finally, (4) knowledge base management system which provides an efficient approach to manage and manipulate massive data of previous backfill operations. The integration of these components is achieved through a blackboard architecture. The early test of the prototype system shows that the basic objectives have been achieved to provide fast information access and certain decision makings. |
