Completely revised and updated
Artificial intelligence (AI) receives a comprehensive examination - though the unifying thread of SEARCH - bringing together the major techniques used in symbolic Artificial Intelligence. The authors avoid the pitfalls of being too general or too academic by including program code to illustrate concepts. Code is offered in both POP - 11 and Prolog.
A precise discussion on Artificial Intelligence through SEARCH awaits AI users, advanced students, academics and professionals.Each of the eleven chapters covers a search technique, and is divided into three sections:
Introduction of the technique
Development of a low-level of (POP-11) implementation
Development of a high-level (Prolog) implementation
Comprehensive yet practical, Artificial Intelligence: Strategies, Applications and Models through SEARCH, Second Edition is expanded and updated from the original.
This comprehensive book on Artificial Intelligence uses the unifying thread of SEARCH to bring together the major techniques used in symbolic Artificial Intelligence. The authors included program code to illustrate concepts--code is offered in both POP-11 and Prolog. The eleven chapters each cover a technique and are divided into three sections: 1) introduction to the technique; 2) development of a low-level of (POP-11) implementation; 3) development of a high-level (Prolog) implementation. This practical book will be valuable to those experienced in Artificial Intelligence, students with some programming background, and academics and professionals looking for a concise discussion of Artificial Intelligence through SEARCH.
