Now this new, revised and updated edition contains well over 2,500 entries - defined, explained and illustrated - and detailed discussion of major concepts as well as topics in related disciplines. It is completely cross- referenced, has an annotated bibliography and an extensive appendix of Internet sites on the latest trends in artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is now established as the foundation discipline for thousands of new applications in business, science, education, engineering and research.
