A Framework for the Representation, Acquisition and Manipulation of Strategic Knowledge for Knowledge Based Systems


Book Description

The representation method, strategy schemata, possesses features that are similar to several other representation methodologies. It captures inter-strategy knowledge, such as structural and inheritance relationships that are useful in the acquisition and refinement processes outlined by the paradigm. The nature of these schemata coupled with the reasoning methods explicitly associated with them, differentiate them from other representation and associated reasoning methodologies."










Knowledge-Based Systems, Four-Volume Set


Book Description

The design of knowledge systems is finding myriad applications from corporate databases to general decision support in areas as diverse as engineering, manufacturing and other industrial processes, medicine, business, and economics. In engineering, for example, knowledge bases can be utilized for reliable electric power system operation. In medicine they support complex diagnoses, while in business they inform the process of strategic planning. Programmed securities trading and the defeat of chess champion Kasparov by IBM's Big Blue are two familiar examples of dedicated knowledge bases in combination with an expert system for decision-making.With volumes covering "Implementation," "Optimization," "Computer Techniques," and "Systems and Applications," this comprehensive set constitutes a unique reference source for students, practitioners, and researchers in computer science, engineering, and the broad range of applications areas for knowledge-based systems.
















Artificial Intelligence


Book Description

This book has been written keeping in view the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students and research scholars in the area of computer science and engineering in particular, and other branches of engineering which deal with the study of AI such as electronics engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering (robotics and FMS). Besides the engineering students, the postgraduate students of computer science and computer applications and cognitive sciences researchers can equally benefit from this text. The basic concepts of artificial intelligence, together with knowledge representation, reasoning methods, acquisition, management and distributed architecture, have been nicely and instructively described. The various application domains and disciplines in engineering, management, medicine which cover different aspects of design, assembly and monitoring, have been presented with utility aspects of AI concepts in logic and knowledge. The book maintains a simple and comprehensible style of presentation for the different categories of readers such as students, researchers and professionals for their respective uses.
