These include expert systems for maintenance and for decision support as well as expert systems for adaptive user interfaces. I would welcome suggestions as to where to start my search. I believe that past is indeed prologue and, therefore, descriptions of the previous growth of coverage and speed of expert systems would be very useful. Wild ideas are also welcome. -- Peter Benson, Ph.D. | ITT Aerospace/Communications Division phone: (619)578-3080 | 10060 Carroll Canyon Road fax: (619)578-5371 | San Diego, CA 92131 email: dcdwest!benson@UCSD.EDU |
