Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering X

Booknews

Presents the latest research on tools and techniques for using artificial intelligence for engineering, in 63 papers from the July 1995 conference. Many describe the small-scale applications that are blossoming in the wake of disillusionment with the initial exaggerated hopes for artificial intelligence in engineering. They cover temporal reasoning, scheduling and planning, model-based qualitative reasoning and diagnosis, techniques, genetic algorithms, knowledge-based systems, neural networks, robotics, concurrent engineering, and design.
