Expert systems and optimization
Andrew Kusiak · IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering · 1989
A problem-solving approach involving the integration of expert systems and optimization techniques is presented. A class of expert systems called tandem expert systems is introduced. Three variants of the tandem expert system, the data-reducing, model-based, and model-modifying expert systems, are explained with examples. It is emphasized that optimization techniques can be used more frequently in future expert systems.>
