AI has always been a hazy science.  But it is usually used in areas where
the problem domain is small and clearly-defined.  With firewalls and
security in general where the problem area is large and vague, I doubt as
to the extent where AI would give significant benefit to firewalls.  Has
there been any studies on the matter?
