Intelligent Systems for Engineers and Scientists, Second Edition by Adrian A Hopgood

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.

Adrian Hopgood earned his BSc from the University of Bristol, PhD from the University of Oxford, and MBA from the Open University. After completing his PhD in 1984, he spent 2 years developing applied intelligent systems for Systems Designers PLC. That experience set the direction of his career toward the investigation of intelligent systems and their practical applications. After leaving Systems Designers, he spent 14 years at the Open University and remains attached as a visiting professor.

During that period, he also spent 2 years at Telstra Research Laboratories in Australia, investigating the role of intelligent systems in telecommunications. He has subsequently worked for Nottingham Trent University, De Montfort University, and Sheffield Hallam University. Despite assuming senior management positions, he has not lost his passion for intelligent systems. He has recently led the development of an open-source blackboard system, DARBS.
