Description
The ten prototypical paradigms in this volume integrate ideas and methodologies from artificial intelligence with those from operations research, estimation and control theory, and statistics. Each paradigm has been constructed around an engineering problem, eg product design, process design, process operations monitoring, planning, scheduling or control. As well as the engineering problem, each paradigm advances a specific methodological theme from AI, such as: modelling languages; automation in design; symbolic and quantitative reasoning; inductive and deductive reasoning; searching spaces of discrete solutions; non-monotonic reasoning; analogical learning; empirical learning through neural networks; reasoning in time; and logic in numerical computing. Together the ten paradigms of the two volumes indicate how computers can expand the scope, type, and amount of knowledge that can be articulated and used in solving a broad range of engineering problems.
