Expert Systems — The Challenge for OR

  • Conference paper
DGOR

Part of the book series: Operations Research Proceedings ((ORP,volume 1984))

Abstract

This paper discusses possible responses of the Operations Research community to current developments in Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems. In particular, the author advances the case for OR practitioners and academics, supported by our professional societies, to take the initiative in the translation of AI concepts into practical applications.

The paper reflects the author’s experiences as the head of a 15 strong OR group within a computer services consultancy which is actively involved in a number of Expert Systems projects, including a major demonstrator system for process plant management. Some of the ideas contained here were initially presented at an Expert Systems seminar organised by the UK Operational Research Society in June 1983.
