Hi,

I am looking for information on applications of AI technologies
such as fuzzy logic, learning algorithms, expert systems, neural
networks and genetic algorithms to various aspects of Project 
Planning and management, like task classification, scheduling 
under multiple constraints of resource, material and time.

Can AI techniques offer better (optimal) results under dynamic 
conditions such as abrupt changes in resource availability or 
deliverables or time constraints ? Especially interesting would
be techniques that incorporate learning from historical data or
learning by example.

How does the experience of the US industry in this area compare
with that of the Japanese and Europeans. 

What is the relative prominece of this area across various sectors
of industry viz., defense, space, auto, banking, health care etc.

I would appreciate any pointers on this topic to books, journals, 
available software (any platform). Even better would be personal
experience (from academics or industry). Apart from theoretical
and algorithmic issues, what are the bussiness issues such as
cost-benefit, organizational aspects, reliability, usability
and so on.

Could you please respond by email.  I will post a summary. This 
could also evolve into an FAQ on AI in Project Management, unless 
one already exists. 

Thanks much in advance.
