Knowledge-Based Systems for Engineers and Scientists describes the principles of knowledge-based systems and related techniques and their use in solving practical problems. The book explains a variety of techniques including the use of artificial intelligence toolkits and languages, rule-based systems, uncertainty, blackboard systems, object-oriented systems, and machine learning. The techniques are illustrated through their applications to practical problems in interpretation and diagnosis, design and selection, planning, and control.
Knowledge-Based Systems for Engineers and Scientists is designed for practicing engineers and scientists wanting to learn about this exciting area of computing. It is also an excellent text for final-year undergraduate as well as graduate engineering and computer students wishing to strengthen their specialized computing skills.
