I am working on the topic of Optimal Control of Manufacturing/Production
Systems subject to disturbances (machine failures, etc.). Having a pure
Mechanical Engineering background, I am fairly oblivious of the details
of Neural Nets. However, the little I have read about NNs, suggests its
applicability to Control of Continuous Processes (Chemical Plants, etc.).

I would highly appreciate your comments on the applicability of NNs to
the domain of Discrete and Stochastic Control; specifically the field
of Optimal Control of Manufacturing Systems (Planning, Scheduling, and
real-time control). References to the indicated topic will also be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
