Request for Survey Participation

I am conducting a survey of university faculty doing expert
systems research with a business emphasis, and hope to obtain a
widespread level of participation (note: I am a faculty member
doing this survey as part of my research efforts and in
conjunction with another professor, Benn Konsynski who is
visiting at Harvard this year and is normally with the University
of Arizona).

We are particularly interested in business oriented research
topics, including the application of expert systems to business
domains (e.g., finance, marketing, accounting, and so on) and the
management of expert systems projects.  A questionnaire is
available from me and can be obtained by email or regular mail.

To obtain a questionnaire, send a request to:

The results of our survey will be summarized and made available

The Kent State University Center for Information Systems is conducting a study
on the use of Expert System Shells.  The main objectives of this research are:
       1.  To categorize ES Shell applications;
       2.  To identify success criteria for each application category; and
       3.  To develop an ES Shell Evaluation Model

The results of our study will be presented at AI sessions of Information
Systems Conferences and will also be submitted for publication in MIS
and ES journals.  A summary of the results will be made available to all
recipients upon request.

The questionnaires will be mailed out around the end of January.  We hope
to have the completed forms back within the month of February.
