Series: New Directions in Civil Engineering

This book provides a comprehensive presentation

of artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies and tools valuable for solving a wide spectrum of engineering problems. What's more, it offers these AI tools on an accompanying disk

with easy-to-use software. Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems for Engineers details the AI-based methodologies known as: Knowledge-Based Expert Systems (KBES); Design Synthesis; Design Critiquing; and Case-Based Reasoning. KBES are

the most popular AI-based tools and have been successfully applied to planning, diagnosis, classification, monitoring, and design problems. Case studies are provided with problems

in engineering design for better understanding of the problem-solving models using the four methodologies in an integrated software environment.

Throughout the book, examples are given so that students and engineers can acquire skills in the use of AI-based methodologies for application to practical

problems ranging from diagnosis to planning, design, and construction and manufacturing in various disciplines of engineering.

A rtificial Intelligence and Expert Systems for Engineers is a must-have reference for students, teachers, research scholars, and professionals working in the area of civil engineering design in particular and engineering design in general.

Reviews for Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems for Engineers

Sequel to Gentle's flawed, thoughtful, appealing debut, the alien-contact saga Golden Witchbreed (1984). Ten years after the events of Witchbreed, Lynne Christie returns to planet Orthe, but no longer as Earth envoy; now she's an employee of the PanOceania company, whose interests lie in recovering the ancient alien technologies of the vanished Witchbreed (themselves imported long ago to Orthe as servants of an even mightier race, they developed great technological skills before succumbing to a revolt by the enslaved native Ortheans). The humanoid Ortheans, predictably, are by no means enthusiastic about Lynne's new mission. Even worse for Lynne, she discovers that her memories of Orthe (she exchanged a copy of her Earth memories for selected Orthe recollections at the behest of the mysterious, serially immortal Hexenmeister) are dangerously incomplete. Once again Lynne will immerse herself in Orthean culture, and again ultimately focus on the key to the whole matter: the information-gathering, technology-hoarding Hexenmeister. Another well thought-out tale, but, like its predecessor, sluggish, stolid, and overlong; this one's merely elaborating on the discoveries made in Witchbreed. Past time for Gentle to test her mettle on something new and different. (Kirkus Reviews)
