As well, some criteria affecting on choosing of oil response 
methods including of equipments, responding teams, 
environmental considerations, and cost were considered as base 
for knowledge acquisition from Malaysian Marine Department 
and Department of Environment, as the major responsible 
authorities in oil spill cases. 
The whole system is being designed based on experts' 
knowledge and experiences and validating some sample 
scenarios and selected historical cases, which will be presented 
in conference. 
5. CONCLUSION 
The oil spill management system aims to achieve a knowledge- 
based system which can choose the most suitable method of 
response in shorter time by analyzing the various sensitivity 
factors of coastal environment, affecting parameters on oil spill 
movement, environmental concerns in oil spill response, and 
consequent monitoring and clean-up measurements. The 
developed system would be able to provide a reasonable ‘any- 
time’ mechanism so that in most cases some reasonable 
response actions can be put forward. The system is useful in 
speeding of response actions especially in the regions which 
still suffer from the shortage of enough experts for responding 
the disasters.
