Expert Systems (Neural): Expert systems based on neural networks will have real decision capabilities. The whole decision process from electronic data acquisition, structuring, and manipulation will be integral to the neural network system. This will facilitate the assimilation of data and the creation of associative relationships between all information nodes relevant to user needs. Neural systems will be capable of accessing a global knowledge base, and then contextually filtering that information in order to retrieve only that which is relevant to user need or preference. The processing of information will culminate in the formulation of discretionary responses to the specific context of the current decision process. Parallel Processing Man to Man: Research
