Abstract

Considers the scope for applying expert system techniques to assist in decisions regarding site location. Begins with a review of the theoretical literature and assesses the progress made in developing computer models. Its central theme is that the next step forward in this area is to develop expert systems. Addresses the question of the design of an expert system which would improve the decision‐making process. Concludes that such a system is well within the scope of current technology, as long as developers can avoid being overambitious and as long as the end result is highly user friendly.
