Description
Written in an easy-to-read style, this introduction to the design of expert systems offers practical examples for each new topic presented. Less emphasis is placed on the intracacies of programming language, more on explanation. The book defines what expert systems are, and discusses knowledge representation and inference. Chapters also cover logic, two-valued inference, inexact and semi-exact reasoning, advanced tools and topics, and draw on studies of human cognition to motivate technical definitions. Each chapter has an introduction and a summary, and provides suggestions for further reading. Student projects are also included.
