Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering IX

Booknews

AIENG 94 is the ninth in a series of conferences which have chronicled the rise in importance of artificial intelligence technology, from the initial explosion of interest in expert systems to its maturity and the growing use throughout engineering of object oriented techniques and neural networks. Some 60 papers present topics in neural networks, object oriented design, genetic algorithms, scheduling, logic and reasoning, design, fuzzy logic, and knowledge based systems. The selection criteria emphasized application in engineering, so papers are also grouped under engineering application areas including civil engineering and CIM & manufacturing. No index.
