Reflections on the relationship between artificial intelligence and operations research
Mark S. Fox · NASA STI Repository (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) · 1989
Historically, part of Artificial Intelligence's (AI's) roots lie in Operations Research (OR). How AI has extended the problem solving paradigm developed in OR is explored. In particular, by examining how scheduling problems are solved using OR and AI, it is demonstrated that AI extends OR's model of problem solving through the opportunistic use of knowledge, problem reformulation and learning.
