Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Third Edition of Peter Jackson's book, Introduction to Expert Systems, updates the technological base of expert systems research and embeds those results in the context of a wide variety of application areas. The earlier chapters take a more practical approach to the basic topics than the previous editions, while the later chapters introduce new topic areas, such as case-based reasoning, connectionist systems, and hybrid systems. Results in related areas, such as machine learning and reasoning with uncertainty are also accorded a thorough treatment. Written in a clear and entertaining style, it shows how expert systems can be applied successfully in a wide range of applications. The new edition is designed to be invaluable for software developers who need an up-to-date account of expert systems technology. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
