Connecting expert system features to a multiple criteria programming based decision support system

We concentrate on the issue of utilizing artificial intelligence based computer systems as an aid to formulating and formalizing corporate planning problems. Our proposal involves cooperation between the analyst and expert system in order to find a suitable structure for the problem to be solved. The Al system is designed using logic programming. The study is an outgrowth of the experience gained in developing a strategic planning system with menu-driven simulation (heuristic, Monte Carlo), multiple criteria optimization and database query facilities for the concern management of Kansallis-Osake-Pankki (Finland).
