Abstract

Suva in cooperation with SYNLOGIC AG developed a knowledge based system for the assignment of companies to risk related groups. The system is fully integrated in the preexisting information infrastructure and almost transparent for the occasional user. The architecture of the system is characterized trough the orthogonal use of a generic model of knowledge and a small set of parametrizeable rule types. The system implements a client server model in which the rule base is held centrally. Rule sets are loaded on demand from the inference engine residing on local PC. The rule based is maintained by domain experts using a specially developed rule editor. The system went operational starting in July 1998 and has since been used routinely. A list of realized benefits is provided.
