Expert Systems: Principles and Programming

Rating:
Summary: Basic instruction on AI programming
Review: Provided good basic understanding of AI with example program, CLIPS, enclosed( floppy disk), well written with understandable examples

Rating:
Summary: Worth every penny
Review: The authors give a good cursory background on knowledge representation within AI. Chapters 7 - 12, present CLIPS syntax and usage. The information in these chapters helped me to develop a simulation involving four intelligent agents, colloborating via a blackboard. The book provides no details with respect to CLIPS object-oriented capabilities (COOL), but this is something that can be learned through CLIP's accompanying documentation. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about expert systems or CLIPS.

Review: This book gives a reasonable, detailed and seriuous account on expert system. A detailed presentation of the CLIPS expert-system language, along with the interpreter, is provided.

Excellent for starting work on expert systems as part of integrated software packages.
