Summary

Knowledge Based Systems (KBS) are systems that use artificial intelligence techniques in the problem solving process.  This text is designed to develop an appreciation of KBS and their architecture and to help users understand a broad variety of knowledge based techniques for decision support and planning.  It assumes basic computer science skills and a math background that includes set theory, relations, elementary probability, and introductory concepts of artificial intelligence.  Each of the 12 chapters are designed to be modular providing instructors with the flexibility to model the book to their own course needs.  Exercises are incorporated throughout the text to highlight certain aspects of the material being presented and to stimulate thought and discussion.
