Summary

The Machine Intelligence series was founded in 1965 by Donald Michie and has included many of the most important developments in the field over the past decades. This volume focuses on the theme of intelligent agents and features work by a number of eminent figures in artificial intelligence, including John McCarthy, Alan Robinson, Robert Kowalski, and Mike Genesereth. Topics include representations of consciousness, SoftBots, parallel implementations of logic, machine learning, machine vision, and machine-based scientific discovery in molecular biology.
