I posted a request for information and opinions on how far ESs can go.
I did get a couple of replies, but I would still like to get some more
info.  So here is the question:

   Would anyone who created or is successfully using an ES in industry
   send me a 1 paragraph (or so) blurb on its usefulness, limitations,
   and projections on its future.

Another student and I have to do a presentation on "ESs -- How far can
they go".  We have found very little support that ESs can go beyond
limited domains and therefore we would like to receive some examples of
how far they have gone.

Obviously, there might be some proprietary info that you can not give
out.  We would like as much info as possible.

Please send any replies either to this group (comp.ai) OR to
	internet:	_craig@csil.cs.sfu.ca
	bitnet:		_craig%csil.cs.sfu.ca@relay.cdnnet.ca

Thanks,

Craig
