P.  aOn the potentialities of AI to deal with the combinatorial complexity of a telecommunication network planning problem.  c1992  aAbstract: The mathematical modeling of many real world problems is a complex and eventually an impracticable task when it leads to a combinatorial explosion. Previous papers have described the structure of a decision support system (DSS) for rural telephone network planning1 and the structure of a knowledge based system, integrated in the DSS, to support a post-optimal analysis of the results obtained using heuristic techniques.2 This paper attempts to show the potentialities of AI knowledge-representation techniques for improving heuristic approaches to combinatorially complex problems arising in a rural telephone network planning model.  aPortugal  aComputador  aEstrutura Social  aPrograma de Computador  aRede  aTelefonia Rural  aTomada de Decisão1 aCLIMACO, J.
