Knowledge management and knowledge-based intelligence are areas of importance in the economy and society, and to exploit them fully and efficiently it is necessary both to represent and reason about knowledge via a declarative interface whose input language is based on logic. In this book, originally published in 2003, Chitta Baral shows exactly how to go about doing that: how to write programs that behave intelligently by giving them the ability to express knowledge and reason about it. He presents a language, AnsProlog, for both knowledge representation and reasoning, and declarative problem solving. The results have been organised here into a form that will appeal to practising and would-be knowledge engineers wishing to learn more about the subject, either in courses or through self-teaching. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the book.

本書序言1. Vectors are introduced earlier in the text (Chapter 2) so that students develop familiarity with vector language before encountering motion in one and two dimensions.2. Updates to the text reflect current technological advances, including recent spacecraft and updated coverage of climate change.3. New STEP (Scaffolding the Essentials of Physics) problems in WebAssign offer self-paced activities that bridge the gap between basic physics knowledge and solving complex textbook problems.4. Updated Master Its in WebAssign provide just-in-time problem-solving support to students, walking through the reasoning of problems that are similar to those that appear in the text.本書特色1. A Storyline feature that begins each chapter offers a continuous story through the eyes of an inquisitive physics student, connecting topics across the textbook and relating physics to everyday life.2. The Analysis Model approach to problem solving helps students conceptualize physics problems. Introduced in Cha

This book is devoted to the systematic presentation of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and is the most comprehensive book in the classical TRIZ and beyond. It details methods for formulating non-standard problems and various ways to solve them, etc. The book is illustrated by many examples, problems, and graphical material (approximately 300 examples and problems, and approximately 400 illustrations). It describes more than 300 concepts. Materials for independent work is provided at the end of each chapter. Some reference solutions are included. The book is intended for students of engineering disciplines who would like to have in-depth understanding of. It can also be useful for engineers and inventors, scientists, university professors, and those who solve creative problems. Professor and TRIZ Master Vladimir Petrov, is one of the most authoritative students and best friends of the Father of TRIZ, Genrich S. Altshuller. Since 1972, TRIZ Master Vladimir Petrov often con

How Hansel and Gretel, Sherlock Holmes, the movie Groundhog Day, Harry Potter, and other familiar stories illustrate the concepts of computing.Picture a computer scientist, staring at a screen and clicking away frantically on a keyboard, hacking into a system, or perhaps developing an app. Now delete that picture. In Once Upon an Algorithm, Martin Erwig explains computation as something that takes place beyond electronic computers, and computer science as the study of systematic problem solving. Erwig points out that many daily activities involve problem solving. Getting up in the morning, for example: You get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast. This simple daily routine solves a recurring problem through a series of well-defined steps. In computer science, such a routine is called an algorithm. Erwig illustrates a series of concepts in computing with examples from daily life and familiar stories. Hansel and Gretel, for example, execute an algorithm to get home from the fore

A broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, introducing the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them.Automated decision-making systems or decision-support systems―used in applications that range from aircraft collision avoidance to breast cancer screening―must be designed to account for various sources of uncertainty while carefully balancing multiple objectives. This textbook provides a broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, covering the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them. The book first addresses the problem of reasoning about uncertainty and objectives in simple decisions at a single point in time, and then turns to sequential decision problems in stochastic environments where the outcomes of our actions are uncertain. It goes on to address model uncertainty, when we do not start with a known model and must learn how to act through inte
