Summary

Reflecting the most fascinating AI-based research and its broad practical applications, Intelligent Knowledge-Based Systems offers a comprehensive treatment of the subject. Volume 1 Knowledge-Based Systems treats the question of how accumulated data and staff expertise from business operations can be abstracted into useful knowledge. Volume 2 Information Technology addresses the question of how data should be stored and used to maximize its overall value. Volume 3 Expert and Agent Systems considers such applications as image databases, business process monitoring, e-commerce, production planning and scheduling. Volume 4 Intelligent Systems covers applications in mission-critical functions, business forecasting, medical patient care, and product design and development. Volume 5 Neural Networks, Fuzzy Theory, and Genetic Algorithm Techniques explores applications in bioinformatics, product life-cycle cost estimating, product development, computer-aided design, product assembly, and facility location.
