About this Item

Signed. First Edition. Signed and inscribed to previous owner by Jeffrey J-P Tsai on front free page. Previous owner was Prof. Dr. Lotfi Zadeh (1921-2017). Zadeh, in his theory of fuzzy sets, proposed using a membership function (with a range covering the interval [0,1]) operating on the domain of all possible values. He proposed new operations for the calculus of logic and showed that fuzzy logic was a generalization of classical and Boolean logic. He also proposed fuzzy numbers as a special case of fuzzy sets, as well as the corresponding rules for consistent mathematical operations (fuzzy arithmetic). Zadeh's latest work includes computing with words and perceptions. No other markings in book. Binding is tight. DJ with minor shelf wear. From the DJ back cover: This book covers the state of art in the use of knowledge-based approach for software specification, design, implementation, testing and debugging. Starting with an introduction to various software engineering paradigms,

About this title

Synopsis

The interplay of artificial intelligence and software engineering has been an interesting and an active area in research institution and industry. This book covers the state of the art in the use of knowledge-based approaches for software specification, design, implementation, testing and debugging. Starting with an introduction to various software engineering paradigms and knowledge-based software systems, the book continues with the discussion of using hybrid knowledge representation as a basis to specify software requirements, to facilitate specification analysis and transformation of real-time distributed software systems. A formal requirements specification language using non-monotonic logic, temporal logic, frames and production systems for new software engineering paradigms (such as rapid prototyping, operational specification and transformational implementation) is also discussed in detail. Examples from switching and other applications are used to illustrate the requirements language. Finally, the development, specification and verification of knowledge-based systems are investigated.
