Artificial Intelligence: An Engineering Approach (Schaums Outline Series in Computers) - Hardcover

This textbook is for an advanced undergraduate or postgraduate course in artificial intelligence. No previous experience in this area is assumed. The text emphasizes the conceptual approach, while underlying mathematical and conceptual fundamentals are stressed to prepare students to participate in "hands-on" development of AI systems. Current topics of interest to the engineering community are discussed, including parallel decomposition of AI algorithms, corresponding parallel dedicated processing hardware, temporal reasoning, constant satisfaction and rule based implementations.
