About this title

Synopsis

Knowledge-Based Systems for Engineers and Scientists describes the principles of knowledge-based systems and related techniques and their use in solving practical problems. The book explains a variety of techniques including the use of artificial intelligence toolkits and languages, rule-based systems, uncertainty, blackboard systems, object-oriented systems, and machine learning. The techniques are illustrated through their applications to practical problems in interpretation and diagnosis, design and selection, planning, and control. Knowledge-Based Systems for Engineers and Scientists is designed for practicing engineers and scientists wanting to learn about this exciting area of computing. It is also an excellent text for final-year undergraduate as well as graduate engineering and computer students wishing to strengthen their specialized computing skills.

Synopsis

Knowledge-based computer systems are derived from studies into artificial intelligence, and are able to draw on stored knowledge to determine the best response to various events. Fundamental concepts are introduced first in this book, and are followed by practical applications and techniques. Applications are illustrated by case studies ranging from medical diagnosis to nuclear power plant faults and telecommunications.
