'Illustrative, up-to-date coverage of integrated AI models

Fuzzy Engineering Expert Systems with Neural Network Applications presents three popular areas of artificial intelligence in an integrated and practical format. The decision-making paths of expert systems, fuzzy systems, and neural networks have been successfully applied independently to problems in business, industry, and research. In a combined form-as they are presented here-the collective models act as a powerful tool to solve difficult and ill-structured decision problems.

Generously supplemented with case studies and examples taken from real-world research, this book also features:

* Detailed studies of each individual model

* A rigorous integration of fuzzy systems with neural networks and evolutionary computing using the latest analytical techniques

* Examinations of related theories and concepts

* Applications for general business and engineering

* Simulation models

Fuzzy Engineering Expert Systems with Neural Network Applications is an invaluable book for engineers, scientists, and business managers involved in technology-based industries and manufacturing facilities, as well as students in these disciplines.'

Drei der populärsten modernen Modelle für die künstliche Intelligenz in einem Band! Nach der Einführung jedes Modells werden die Ansätze integriert, wobei Theorie, Konzepte und Anwendungen in Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft behandelt werden. Expertensysteme mit Fuzzy-Logik und neuronalen Netzen kommen zur Sprache; erläutert werden auch Simulationsmodelle, zu denen man anderswo kaum Angaben findet. Alle Fallstudien und Beispiele stammen aus dem Alltag des Autors in Forschung und Anwendungsentwicklung.

Provides an up-to-date integration of expert systems with fuzzy logic and neural networks.

• Includes coverage of simulation models not present in other books.
• Presents cases and examples taken from the authors' experience in research and applying the technology to real-world situations.
