Description
Systems called upon to function in a variety of widely differing cultural and natural environments can only do so satisfactorily if from the very beginning they have been designed with this versatility in mind. The know-how for this often formidable design task has been gathered together and presented here. This book identifies the problems facing the designer of multi-environmental knowledge-based systems, and explains the principles that must be followed in order to obtain successful results. It was written to an overall plan, with chapters commissioned from a group of researchers of quite diversified backgrounds who had deeply explored their subjects. Each topic was thus covered in close connection with the others, so as to form a coherent whole.
