Hi!... I am compiling a survey of expert systems for scheduling CIM in general
and FMS in particular. I would appreciate views/comments from persons in academi
a and industry, who are involved in developing/using such systems. I am
particularly interested in the limitations and effectiveness of these expert
systems, and what role a human scheduler would play in the highly complex
and constantly evolving environment of FMS. Does anyone know if ISIS still
being used at Westinghouse? I would welcome comments from U.S. and the
worldwide readers of the AILIST DIGEST.
