Artificial Intelligence and the Management Science Practitioner: The Economics of Expert Systems and the Contribution of MS/OR

Three important issues are addressed: (1) What are the economic incentives for developing expert systems as production tools? (2) What is the role of MS/OR methods in the development of such systems? and (3) How can the expert systems approach increase the productivity of the MS/OR professional?
