Complying with practice codes

As part of a pilot‐project programme in the Netherlands to develop ‘small’ stand‐alone expert systems, the IBBC‐TNO Institute in Delft has developed BRAM. This is a fire‐safety analysis method using artificial intelligence to guide the designer through the practice code requirements. The objectives, the problems and the solutions evolved are discussed in this article.
