Synopsis

This work describes the ways in which the management of information and data - an increasing resource for increasing numbers of people and with consequent economic implications - can be addressed by the development of intelligent information systems. The book also describes the concomitant and necessary progress of various complementary areas. The earlier sections of the book describe the applications of expert systems and artificial intelligence techniques to the storage and retrieval of information. This is followed by a consideration of referral and user modelling and by an exploration of the role of cognitive science. The final chapter puts contemporary research into historical perspective. The book is intended to offer readers an understanding of the ways in which artificial intelligence techniques can be utilized in solving the problems raised by the information explosion, an appreciation of the directions in which progress is being made; and a comprehension of the problems still to be overcome.
