INTELLIGENT APPLICATIONS - the complete sourcebook for the intelligent system developer. This 200-page book contains 52 detailed descriptions of deployed intelligent applications in more than a dozen industries & over the full range of computing platforms. Complete with Introduction, Afterword & a full Index, this reference tool demonstrates the variety & depth of intelligent system use in a wide range of different environments. From strategic stock portfolio decision-making to seagoing search-&-rescue, power station management to spacecraft monitoring, INTELLIGENT APPLICATIONS explores the world of deployed intelligent systems & illustrates the increasing mainstream use of AI technology. The systems described use expert systems, neural networks, hypertext & combinations of these to achieve their aims, just as developers in real world development labs are evaluating each method as a potential part to the finished whole. Decision-makers at all levels - from project leaders to MIS directors & technology officers - will want to read this book. As these techniques are adopted in more & more companies & imbedded into existing C, COBOL & other mainstream environments, competitive advantages will be gained by those who work more intelligently, who leverage the knowledge of their people into an intelligent system. The future of intelligent systems is here.
