Since the first expert systems appeared in the late sixties  we have seen three decades of research and development engineer human knowledge to more practical ends  in a pioneering effort that has integrated diverse areas of cognitive and computer science. Today  expert systems exist in many forms  from medical diagnosis to investment analysis and from counseling to production control.  This third edition of Peter Jacksons best-selling book updates the technological base of expert systems research and embeds those developments in a wide variety of application areas. The earlier chapters have been refocused to take a more practical approach to the basic topics  while the later chapters introduce new topic areas such as case-based reasoning  connectionist systems and hybrid systems. Results in related areas  such as machine learning and reasoning with uncertainty  are also accorded a thorough treatment.  The new edition contains many new examples and exercises  most of which are in CLIPS  a language that combines production rules with object-oriented programming. LISP  PROLOG and C are also featured where appropriate. Interesting problems are posed throughout  and are solved in exercises involving the analysis  design and implementation of CLIPS programs.  This book will prove useful to a wide readership including general readers  students and teachers  software engineers and researchers. Its modular structure enables readers to follow a pathway most suited to their needs  providing them with an up-to-date account of expert systems technology.  Peter Jackson is Director of Research at West Group  a division of The Thomson Corporation and the leading provider of information to the US legal market. Peter drives the application of natural language and information retrieval technologies to the information needs of law and business. Previous appointments include Principal Scientist at the McDonnell Douglas Research Laboratories in Saint Louis  Missouri  and Lecturer in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh  Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279812354101,"sku":"ByrdShop_0201876868","price":104.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780201876864.jpg?v=1780611551","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-expert-systems-3rd-edition-9780201876864","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
