About this Unit
Business learning and knowledge management has allowed organisational knowledge to be better applied in the improvement of decision-making and problem solving. This unit provides students with an understanding of how intelligent systems in general, and knowledge-based systems in particular, are developed and applied in an organisation to assist in decision-making activities and problem solving processes. The unit provides hands-on experience in the design and development of a knowledge-based system using a knowledge-based system development shell. Other topics covered in this unit include: decision support systems; management information systems; neural networks; and artificial intelligence.
