Description
This volume provides the most comprehensive single-volume coverage of both the theory and the practical applications of knowledge-based systems. Authors Avelino J. Gonzalez and Douglas D. Dankel cover the theoretical foundations of knowledge-based systems as a branch of artificial intelligence, and then concentrate on practical aspects of a knowledge-based system development and implementation. Emphasizing a hands-on approach, "The Engineering of Knowledge-Based Systems, Theory and Practice: a) Bases the discussion of knowledge-based systems development on the software engineering life-cycle approach; b) Features a highly accessible presentation throughout, even when describing complex issues such as uncertainty management; and c) Provides easy-to-use, real-world tools.
