[comp.misc] Expert systems experiences

bradb@ai.toronto.edu (02/02/89)

     I am working on a long term project studying the
use of expert system technology in the business commu-
nity.  Part of the study involves looking at a number
of commercial ES products to evaluate their strengths
and weaknesses, while another major part of the study
is attempting to determine what kind of an infrastruc-
ture is needed to support ES use in a large company.
In other words, I would like to get ballpark answers
for questions like what kind of support is needed from
an MIS department, will knowledge engineers or ES
professionals be required, what sort of applications
make good "demonstration" systems, what kind of user
response can be expected, and so on.
 
     I would be interesteII+Mponding with anyone
who has relevant experience or would like to discuss
the issues.  I am especially interested in talking with
people who have implemented expert systems or similar
systems on personal computers or IBM mainframes.
