The Handbook of Artificial Intelligence Unknown - 1986

Los Altos, CA: Addison-Wesley Publishing, 1982. Fifth Printing . Trade Paperback. Good. 6" x 9. 639 pages. Indexed. Exterior shows signs of shelf wear, and has abrasions along the front and back cover. Binding is sturdy. Interior text is unmarked and undamaged. The scope of this handbook is broad: over two hundred short articles covering all of the important ideas, techniques, and systems developed during twenty-five years of research in the AI field. The articles are written for people with no background in AI. Some articles serve as overviews, discussing the various approaches within a subfield, the issues, and the problems. The handbook is a reference work, a textbook, a guide to programming techniques and to the extensive literature of the field, and a book for intellectual browsing. Jargon has been eliminated in each of the short, penetrating articles, and the hierarchical organization of the book allows readers to choose how deeply they wish to delve into a particular subject.
