Description
This volume contains the refereed and invited papers which were presented at Expert Systems 90, the tenth annual conference of the British Computer Society's Specialist Group on Expert Systems, held in London in September 1990. The theme of the conference - Business Benefits of Expert Systems - is particularly pertinent as expert systems mature and begin to be applied in a much wider range of settings. This year three issues were examined: cybernetics, databases and programming languages. These issues reflect the ubiquity of expert systems, showing how the methods are helping to expand other areas of technology. This is the seventh volume in the series, Research and Development in Expert Systems, and together with its predecessors is essential reading for those who wish to keep up-to-date with developments and opportunities in this important field.
