Abstract: | In order to keep pace with the changing times, it is important that an expert systems course be included in the operations research curriculum. The operations research community was instrumental in producing automated aids, namely decision support systems, to help the decision maker. Another type of aid which operations research can impact is expert systems. This paper stresses the need for an expert systems course as part of the operations research curriculum, and then discusses such a course as taught in the Management Science Department at George Washington University. |
