Intelligent Mathematical Software Systems: Proceedings of the First Imacs/Ifac International Conference on Expert Systems for Numerical Computing Pu

Most of the well-known mathematical software systems are batch oriented, though in the past few years there have been attempts to incorporate ''knowledge'' or ''expertise'' into these systems. A number of developments have helped in making the systems more powerful and user-friendly: algorithm/parameter selection for the solution of well-defined mathematical engineering problems; parallel computing; computer graphics technology; interface development tools; and of course the years of experience with these systems and the increase in available computing power have made it practical to fulfill the potential seen in the early years of their development. This book covers four main areas of the subject: Application Oriented Expert Systems, Advisory Systems, Knowledge Manipulation Issues, and User Interfaces.Houstis, Elias N. is the author of 'Intelligent Mathematical Software Systems: Proceedings of the First Imacs/Ifac International Conference on Expert Systems for Numerical Computing Pu' with ISBN 9780444886828 and ISBN 0444886826.
