"The development of modern knowledge-based systems, for applications ranging from medicine to finance, necessitates going well beyond traditional rule-based programming. Frontiers of Expert Systems: Reasoning with Limited Knowledge attempts to satisfy such a need, introducing recent advances at the frontiers of the field of expert systems.". "Beginning with the central topics of logic, uncertainty and rule-based reasoning, each chapter in the book presents a different perspective on how we may solve problems that arise due to limitations in the knowledge of an expert system's reasoner.". "Each chapter takes the reader on a journey from elementary concepts to topics of active research, providing a concise description of several topics within and related to the field of expert systems, with pointers to practical applications and other relevant literature." "Frontiers of Expert Systems: Reasoning with Limited Knowledge is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry."--BOOK JACKET.
