Reader Reviews
This review is from: Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems: 10th International Conference, KES 2006, Bournemouth, UK, October 9-11 2006, Proceedings, Part II (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) (Paperback) This proceedings is a 1,333 page compendium of technical papers each of which is based on the concept of Artificial Intelligence. Only papers which "...included significant intelligent systems content..." and which excluded purely classical methods were published. About 180 separate papers in the English language appear in a standard format: introduction, presentation, conclusion, references. The authors are from universities and research organizations throughout the world. The subjects presented are unlimited in scope and describe applications in nearly every imaginable field. However, the single common thread is the inclusion of higher mathematics to rationalize the procedure. Whether a paper deals with objects, actions, or information, or a combination of these, the authors customarily provide a mathematical formulation. In many cases, the authors conducted an experiment to demonstrate or test the application in a real-life setting. Computing systems were usually employed to help generate solutions. This was not intended to be read like a novel from chapter to chapter, nor can a typical scientist or engineer be expected to have the expertise to fully comprehend every paper. It is essentially a research reference on current applications in Artificial Intelligence which incorporates extensive reference lists, with website and email addresses, affording pursuit of the concepts in depth. It is highly recommended to scientists, engineers, and research personnel with very strong mathematical skills as a resource publication. Leonard C.
