Application examples drawn from expert systems, natural language interfaces, and symbolic mathematics are featured, and new applications dealing with probability bounds, project simulation, and visual object recognition are introduced. Special Features of this Edition Based on extensive teaching experience Explains key problem solving paradigms, such as search, forward chaining, and problem reduction Discusses constraint propagation, backward chaining, and key ideas in Prolog Emphasizes procedure and data abstraction, and other points of programming style and practice Covers cliches, mapping, streams, delayed evaluation, and techniques for better and faster procedure definition 0201083191B04062001
