Description
This volume provides comprehensive coverage of both the theory and the practical application of knowledge-based systems as a branch of artificial intelligence, and bases the discussion of knowledge-based systems development on the software engineering life cycle approach. Emphasis is placed on a hands-on approach for building knowledge-based systems, and the terminology used is not difficult to grasp even when the authors describe complex concepts, such as uncertainty management.
