A New Guide to Artificial Intelligence by Derek Partridge

A New Guide to Artificial Intelligence by Derek Partridge

In this textbook the author endeavors to cover the large and growing field of artificial intelligence (AI) in some detail. While there are books that examine and discuss global perspectives on AI, they make no attempt to cover the diversity of theories and programs. A global perspective on the subject is provided by this volume, but in conjunction with an exhaustive survey of the field. It covers all recognized AI work in sufficient detail to allow a critiquie from general concerns to be anchored, whenever possible, in the structure of specific AI programs. It can be used as a supplement to other AI texts, providing broader perspectives on the wealth of details that such texts contain. It can also be considered as a companion to the current AI literature for it is only in conference proceedings and journals that these up-to-date details usually are found.

Derek Partridge gained his PhD in Computer Science from Imperial College, London in 1972. For the next 15 years he worked as a researcher and a teacher in Universities around the world --- Africa, Australia, Malaysia, Chile but primarily in the USA. In 1987 he returned to the UK to the Chair of Computer Science at Exeter University. He has published more than one hundred articles on Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering as well as numerous books, one of which was translated into French, German and Italian. He retired from the University of Exeter in 2008, and now reads, writes and manages his private nature reserve on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in Devon.
