Synopsis

This book underlines the major concerns raised by the prospect that expert systems will be used in loosely structured problems where uncertainty and imprecision plays a large part. It looks at how we can be assured of the reliability of expert systems, how expert systems react to a mixture of numbers and symbols and how they can be applied in critical domains. The spread, over the last couple of years, from purely technical applications to financial and business administration, as well as to a wide range of potentially critical applications such as the control and safety of process plants, has underlined the need for a comprehensive text in these areas. Expert systems are being increasingly used in cases where substantial risk may be involved and there is an increasing need for them. However, before they can become an integral part of these applications, expert systems must emerge as a proven technology.
