Abstract

Waste scheduled generation has been increasing tremendously over few years worldwide and in GCC countries in specific owing to many factors; such as growth in economy, changing lifestyle, modern life approach and many more. Sustained illegal dumping by waste generators is being practiced at a large scale due to lack of proper direction and awareness. This paper reviewed and discussed about service and provided for scheduled waste management a scenario of scheduled waste management in developing smart clean cities by an authority and international. An expert system was developed to integrate scheduled waste management in Kuwait smart cities associated with IoT technology. The knowledge base was acquired through different resources including journals, books, magazines, annual report, and websites. The overall development of this project has been carried out in several phases: problem identification; problem statement and literature review; identification of domain experts; prototype development; knowledge acquisition; and knowledge representation. Scheduled waste expert system (SWES) is developed based on five types of scheduled waste management. These are label requirements, packaging requirements, impact of scheduled wastes, recycling of scheduled wastes, and recommendations. Besides, it contains several sub modules by which the user can obtain a comprehensive background of the domain. The output is to support effective integrated and smart scheduled waste management.
