Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The broad range of material included in these volumes suggests to the newcomer thenature of the field of artificial intelligence, while those with some background in AI willappreciate the detailed coverage of the work being done at MIT. The results presented are related tothe underlying methodology. Each chapter is introduced by a short note outlining the scope of theproblem begin taken up or placing it in its historical context.
