Book Description

11 Oct 2000 0849304563 978-0849304569 2
This updated version of the best-selling Knowledge-Based Systems for Engineers and Scientists (CRC Press, 1993) embraces both the explicit knowledge-based models retained from the first edition and the implicit numerical models represented by neural networks and optimization algorithms. The title change to Intelligent Systems for Engineers and Scientists reflects its broader scope, incorporating knowledge-based systems, computational intelligence, and their hybrids.

Clear and concise, the book shows the issues encountered in the development of applied systems and describes a wide range of intelligent systems techniques. The author describes each technique at the level of detail required to develop intelligent systems for real applications. Whether you are building intelligent systems or you simply want to know more about them, Intelligent Systems for Engineers and Scientists provides you with a detailed, up-to-date, and practical guide to solving real problems in science and engineering.

This indispensable book provides everything in one volume:

BREADTH - from knowledge-based systems to computational intelligence
DEPTH - from introductory concepts to advanced specialist techniques
SCOPE - from principles to practicalities

Product Description

Review

"it has a clear and concise style of presentation but still manages to comprise a great deal of material. The new chapters on intelligent agents, neural networks and optimisation algorithms fit neatly alongside the established chapters. I read the first edition of Adrian Hopgood's book a few years ago and have consulted it on many occasions for AI projects I have been involved with. I fully expect to make use of this new edition of Intelligent Systems for Engineers and Scientists for future projects." - Desmond Case, Senior Lecturer, University College Northampton, in Expert Systems: The International Journal of Knowledge Engineering and Neural Networks, September 2002

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Excellent 27 April 2001
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
A superb book for anyone working in or studying AI. All the major areas covered in depth but in a very readable style. Plenty of supporting examples shown as well as demonstrations of how AI techniques can be applied in many subject areas.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage 23 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book does cover a lot of the main areas in intelligent systems, such as rules-based systems, fuzzy logic and neural nets (not much on genetic algorithm though). However, the style of writing is sometimes a bit terse, so I found myself having to re-read topics a number of times for understanding. In my opinion, amplification of difficult topics would have been useful, as well as some questions to test understanding.

This book is not really a primer, but serves a good review of the core topics in the field.
