About the forthcoming 3rd Edition of my book ...
In January 1999, Addison-Wesley will publish the 3rd Edition of my expert systems textbook. The 1st Edition, published in 1986, was arguably the first such text written primarily for students, as opposed to targeting researchers or the business world. It covered all the basic concepts of knowledge representation and control of inference that are fundamental to such systems.
The 2nd Edition expanded the purview of the earlier book, by including chapters on blackboard systems, machine learning, and truth maintenance systems. The more advanced material made the book more useful to graduate students, as well as bringing the general reader up to date. Various pedagogical improvements were also effected, e.g., more diagrams and exercises.
The 3rd Edition consolidates the treatment of the previous edition in a number of ways.
> It provides a gentler introduction to some of the key concepts of knowledge representation.
> It is less linear than previous editions, with an emphasis on ideas rather than systems.
> It contains many more programming examples and exercises.
> Almost all examples and exercises are in CLIPS, and there is a new 50-page Appendix on CLIPS programming.
> It includes new chapters on case based reasoning and hybrid systems.
> It describes new systems, such as ODYSSEUS, FRANK, and CATO.
> It describes new concepts, such as the KADS development framework and connectionist approaches.
> It introduces new application areas, such as information retrieval, tutoring systems, and report generation.
I hope that these enhancements will serve to make the book more accessible to the general reader, as well as providing students with an authoritative, up-to-date text.
