The Application of Artificial Intelligence to Contract Management.

Abstract

The area of contract management currently holds many opportunities for the development of expert systems which are capable of assuming the role of a legal consultant on matters pertaining to claim analysis. To demonstrate the feasibility of this type of expert system, the Differing Site Condition Analysis System (DSCAS) has been developed. DSCAS, built within the ROSIE programming environment, is capable of performing the legal analysis of a differing site condition (DSC) claim. The DSCAS program is based on logic which is patterned after the decision process used by a lawyer to analyze the DSC claim. DSCAS provides a very user-friendly environment in which the analysis is performed and a number of desirable features. Two of the most desirable features are: its ability to make assumptions and continue the analysis if an answer is unknown and its ability to explain the reason behind concluding that the contractor will not be allowed entitlement.
