Description
Providing the most comprehensive single-volume coverage of both the theory and the practical applications of knowledge-based systems, this book covers the theoretical foundations of knowledge-based systems as a branch of artificial intelligence and then concentrates on practical aspects in the development of a knowledge bases system. The authors base the discussion of knowledge-based systems development on the software engineering life cycle approach, with emphasis on a hands-on approach for building knowledge based systems.
