Smart Environmentsby Diane Cook; Sajal Das
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 139.00Smart Environments contains contributions from leading researchers, describing techniques and issues related to developing and living in intelligent environments. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the design of smart environments, the topics covered include the latest research in smart environment philosophical and computational architecture considerations, network protocols for smart environments, intelligent sensor networks and powerline control of devices, and action prediction and identification. more...
Knowledge Representation, Reasoning and Declarative Problem Solvingby Chitta Baral
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 52.00Baral shows how to write programs that behave intelligently, by giving them the ability to express knowledge and to reason. This unique book will appeal to practising and would-be knowledge engineers wishing to learn more about the subject in courses or through self-teaching. more...
Fuzzy Expert Systems and Fuzzy Reasoningby William Siler; James J. Buckley
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 147.00Fuzzy sets were for a long time not accepted by the AI community. Now they have become highly evolved and their techniques are well established. This book will teach the reader how to construct a fuzzy expert system to solve real-world problems. After a general discussion of expert systems, the basic fuzzy math required is presented first, requiring little more math background than high-school algebra. This book will fill a void in the market because although there are many books on expert systems, none devote more than a few pages to the notion of fuzzy sets and their applications in this domain. Therefore their use in this book is timely and should be well received. The book is designed as a text and has ample problems with solutions,... more...
Intelligent Systems for Engineers and Scientistsby Adrian A. Hopgood
CRC Press 2000; US$ 119.95This second edition embraces both explicit knowledge-based models and the implicit numerical models represented by neural networks and organization algorithms. This book highlights the issues encountered in developing applied systems and describes a wide range of intelligent systems techniques. more...
Knowledge Managementby Jay Liebowitz
CRC Press 2001; US$ 74.95The text attempts to integrate the foundation theory and practice in knowledge engineering, expert systems, and artificial intelligence with the latest thinking on organizational and strategic aspects of the emerging discipline of "knowledge management". more...
Knowledge-based Software Engineeringby I. Rozman; T. Welzer; S. Yamamoto
IOS Press 2002; US$ 120.00An exploration of developments in the areas of knowledge engineering and software engineering. Particular emphasis is placed on applying knowledge-based methods to software engineering problems.

Knowledge-Based Software Engineeringby E. Tyugu; T. Yamaguchi
IOS Press 2006; US$ 138.00This publication addresses the research in theoretical foundations, practical techniques, software tools, applications and / or practical experiences in knowledge-based software engineering. The book also includes a new field: research in web services and semantic web. This is a rapidly developing research area promising to give excellent practical outcome, and interesting for theoretically minded as well as for practically minded people. The largest part of the papers belongs to a traditional area of applications of artificial intelligence methods to various software engineering problems. Another traditional section is application of intelligent agents in software engineering. A separate section is devoted to interesting applications and special... more...
Decoding the Universeby Charles Seife
Penguin Group Inc. 2007; US$ 12.99The author of Zero explains the scientific revolution that is transforming the way we understand our world Previously the domain of philosophers and linguists, information theory has now moved beyond the province of code breakers to become the crucial science of our time. In Decoding the Universe , Charles Seife draws on his gift for making cutting-edge science accessible to explain how this new tool is deciphering everything from the purpose of our DNA to the parallel universes of our Byzantine cosmos. The result is an exhilarating adventure that deftly combines cryptology, physics, biology, and mathematics to cast light on the new understanding of the laws that govern life and the universe. more...
Planning in Intelligent Systemsby Wout van Wezel; R. J. Jorna; Alexander M. Meystel
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006; US$ 156.00The first comparative examination of planning paradigms This text begins with the principle that the ability to anticipate and plan is an essential feature of intelligent systems, whether human or machine. It further assumes that better planning results in greater achievements. With these principles as a foundation, Planning in Intelligent Systems provides readers with the tools needed to better understand the process of planning and to become better planners themselves. The text is divided into two parts: * Part One, "Theoretical," discusses the predominant schools of thought in planning: psychology and cognitive science, organizational science, computer science, mathematics, artificial intelligence, and systems theory. In particular, the... more...
