  • A script-based prototype for dynamic deadlock avoidance 
    Blewett, CN; Erwin, GJ (1996)
    Expert systems apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to an application area, aiming (usually) to mimic the behaviour of a human expert. However, there are some AI techniques which can be used to improve the internal ...
