Paper Summary:

This research paper analyzes the growing trend of using computer science, and more specifically, genetic algorithms (expert systems) in America's businesses with special reference to the fishing industry. The author discusses the technicalities of computer systems as well as the advantages that they provide (such as saving time and money) to the American industry.

From the Paper:

"Who would have ever thought that the fishing industry could be greatly enhanced through the use of genetic algorithms? The fact is that more and more sectors of our business world are realizing how useful computer science is for assisting in important decisions. There is a great deal of uncertainty in the fish stock-recruitment process, just as in the auto industry. Key decisions must be made in order to gain the most profit. To help in such a situation, expert systems (ES) are used to determine the best possible solution. An ES is a "computer system that applies reasoning methodologies to knowledge in a specific domain." An ES is similar to a human with the biggest difference being that an ES "achieves a high level of performance in task areas that, for human beings, requires years of special education and training" (Turban 811). Without ES, fish stock assessment and management must rely on traditional analysis, which "are based on the assumption that a functional relationship exists between the size of the spawning stock and the number of fish that recruit in the future" (Chen 1)."
