Abstract

This paper presents a heuristic sytem for a special problem in communication network design with bulk facilities, called the TI problem.

We apply AI to this problem. The knowledge acquired from an expert team is represented procedurally. Our work shows the promise of applying AI methodologies in solving network optimization problems.
