Artificial Intelligence, Fifth Edition

To ask the question "what is intelligence?" is
to invite as many answers as there are
approaches to the subject of artificial intelligence. These
could be intelligent agents, logical reasoning, neural networks,
expert systems, evolutionary computing and so on.
This
fifth edition covers the main strategies used for
creating computer systems that will behave in "intelligent"
ways. It combines the broadest approach of any
text in the marketplace with the practical information
necessary to implement the strategies discussed, showing how
to do this through Prolog or LISP programming.
Features:
- A thorough & balanced treatment of
the foundations of AI;
- Contains a combination
of theoretical foundations of intelligent problem solving with
the data structures & algorithms needed for implementation;
- Example programs written in LISP & PROLOG;
- Puts practical applications of AI into context;
- A discussion of the social & philosophical
issues of AI;
- Model-based reasoning & planning
examples from the NASA space program;
- Comments
on the AI endeavor from the perspectives of
philosophy, psychology & neuro-physiology.
