What are the principles behind intelligent systems? How are they built? What are intelligent systems useful for? How do we choose the right tool for the job? These questions are answered by Michael Negnevitsky’s Artificial Intelligence: A Guide to Intelligent Systems.Unlike many books on computer intelligence, which use complex computer science terminology and are crowded with complex matrix algebra and differential equations, this text demonstrates that the ideas behind intelligent systems are simple and straightforward. This text assumes little or no programming experience as it tackles topics like expert systems, fuzzy systems, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, knowledge engineering, and data mining.TABLE OF CONTENTS1. Introduction to Intelligent Systems 1.1 Intelligent Machines, or What Machines Can Do 1.2 The History of Artificial Intelligence, or From the ‘Dark Ages’ to Knowledge-based Systems 1.3 Generative AI 1.4 Summary Questions fo

Infrastructures are complex networks dominated by tight interdependencies between technologies and institutions. These networks supply services crucial to modern societies, services that can be provided only if several critical functions are fulfilled. This book proposes a theoretical framework with a set of concepts to analyse rigorously how these critical functions require coordination within the technological dimension as well as within the institutional dimension. It also shows how fundamental the alignment between these two dimensions is. It argues that this alignment operates along different layers characterized successively by the structure, governance and transactions that connect technologies and institutions. These issues of coordination and alignment, at the core of the book, are substantiated through in-depth case studies of networks from the energy, water and wastewater, and transportation sectors.
