Methodological Issues in Artificial Intelligence and Operational Research

  • Chapter
Artificial Intelligence in Operational Research

Abstract

In this part of the book we look at some of the methodological issues that arise in Operational Research and Artificial Intelligence and their combination. The issues of soft modelling and decision support systems appear to be of dominant interest, and these are covered in the next two sections.
