Product Description: Book by Pearce, Q. L.

Artificial Intelligence is one of the most rapidly evolving subjects within the computing/engineering curriculum, with an emphasis on creating practical applications from hybrid techniques. Despite this, the traditional textbooks continue to expect mathematical and programming expertise beyond the scope of current undergraduates and focus on areas not relevant to many of today's courses. Negnevitsky shows students how to build intelligent systems drawing on techniques from knowledge-based systems, neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation and now also intelligent agents. The principles behind these techniques are explained without resorting to complex mathematics, showing how the various techniques are implemented, when they are useful and when they are not. No particular programming language is assumed and the book does not tie itself to any of the software tools available. However, available tools and their uses will be described and program examples will be given in Java. The lack of assumed prior knowledge makes this book ideal for any introductory courses in artificial intelligence or intelligent systems design, while the contempory coverage means more advanced students will benefit by discovering the latest state-of-the-art techniques.

Product Description: * Comprehensive survey introduces all major areas of artificial intelligence; ideal for those with programming skill in one high level language.

Presents a guide to artificial intelligence, covering such topics as intelligent agents, problem-solving, logical agents, planning, uncertainty, learning, and robotics.

This text, which comes with a CD-ROM, explores every facet of Web publishing, beginning with an exploration of Web publishers' connectivity options. It considers all of the technical and procedural aspects of Web publishing, including the use of the HTML markup language and HTML editors. Multimedia resources are explored, and tips and how-to instruction provided for creating MPEG videos, scanned GIF and JPEG images, Adobe Acrobat documents, and more. The author provides pointers on integrating the Web publishing enterprise with leading multimedia applications. An important function of this book is the full documentation of the rich new HTML tools created by Netscape Corporation for use with Netscape Navigator 1.1. These tools, including tables and other formats, are expected to become part of the emerging HTML 3.0 specification. The accompanying CD-ROM includes software essential for Web publishing.
