Editorial Review:

Environmental Informatics (or Enviromatics) is a maturing subject with interdisciplinary roots in computer science, environmental planning, ecology, economics and other related areas. Its practitioners must be prepared to work with many diverse professional groups. It forms the foundation for computer-assisted environmental protection. This book contains an edited version of papers presented at the 3rd International Symposium on Environmental Software Systems (ISESS '99), which was held at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, from August 30 to September 2, 1999, and was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). The text is divided into six sections: + Enviromatics -- Introduction; + Environmental Issues; + Environmental Information Systems -- Tools and Techniques; + Environmental Information Systems -- Implementations; + Environmental Decision Support Systems; + Specialised Topics. This state-of-the-art volume will be essential reading for computer scientists and engineers, ecologists, and environmental planners and managers.

Editorial Review:

This book deals with experience management in the context of real-world applicability and realistic applications. A particular focus is given by the requirements that arise in complex problem solving and by the fact that modern experience management must be implemented as Internet-based applications. Concrete application areas that are discussed in this book are electronic commerce, diagnosis of complex technical equipment, and electronic design reuse. This book explores how experience management can be supported by information technology, especially by techniques that stem from knowledge-based systems, case-based reasoning, machine learning, and process modeling. It surveys different methods in a unified terminology and investigates them with respect to application requirements. Further, the process of application development and maintenance is highlighted, pointing out successful practically proven ways for obtaining and operating experience management applications.

Editorial Review:

Research on ontology is becoming increasingly widespread in the computer science community. While this term has been rather confined to the philosophical sphere in the past, it is now gaining a specific role in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Computational Linguistics, and Databases. Its importance has been recognized in fields as diverse as knowledge engineering, knowledge representation, qualitative modeling, language engineering, database design, information integration, object-oriented analysis, information retrieval and extraction, knowledge management and organization, agent-based systems design. Current applications areas are disparate, including enterprise integration, natural language translation, medicine, mechanical engineering, electronic commerce, geographic information systems, legal information systems, and biological information systems. Various workshops addressing the engineering aspects of ontology have been held in the recent years. However, ontology by 'its very nature' ought to be a unifying discipline. Insights in this field have potential impact on the whole area of information systems (taking this term in its broadest sense), as testified by the interest recently shown by international standards organizations. In order to provide a solid general foundation for this work, it is therefore important to focus on the common scientific principles and open problems arising from current tools, methodologies, and applications of ontology.

Editorial Review:

The construction of intelligent machines is the primary goal of research in artificial intelligence and knowledge-based systems. This book is designed to introduce the foundations of mathematical and philosophical approaches to this rapidly expanding research area.
Foundations of Intelligent Knowledge-Based Systems is divided into three parts. Part I uses logic as a guideline and addresses fundamental theoretical and practical issues in developing large scale intelligent knowledge-based systems (IKBS). PartII discusses modal and intentional logic, nonmonotonic logic, induction and reasoning under uncertainty, and also covers advanced concepts such as planning, actions, states, and temporal systems. Part III looks at the architecture and design principles ofIKBSs using a case study, thus illuminating many of the principles and concepts developed in Parts I and II.
This text presents a unified and rigorous study of IKBS theory and application. It is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and developers in knowledge-based systems, artificial intelligence, and expert systems.

Key Features
* Presents a unified and rigorous study of intelligent knowledge-based systems theory and application
* Comprehensively addresses computational logic methods and techniques applied to knowledge based systems
* Covers the whole field from the most theoretical aspects of logic to the most practical aspects of a case study
* Provides exercises at the end of each chapter

Editorial Review:

IFIP Working Group 5.2 has organized a series of workshops extending the concept of intelligent CAD to the concept of "knowledge intensive engineering". The concept advocates that intensive life-cycle knowledge regarding products and design processes must be incorporated in the center of the CAD architecture. It focuses on the systematization and sharing of knowledge across the life-cycle stages and organizational boundaries. From Knowledge Intensive CAD to Knowledge Intensive Engineering comprises the Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Knowledge Intensive CAD, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Parma, Italy in May 2000. This workshop looked at the evolution of knowledge intensive design for the product life cycle moving towards knowledge intensive engineering. The 18 selected papers present an overview of the state-of-the-art in knowledge intensive engineering, discussing theoretical aspects and also practical systems and experiences gained in this area. An invited speaker paper is also included, discussing the role of knowledge in product and process innovation and technology for processing semantic knowledge. Main issues discussed in the book are: + Architectures for knowledge intensive CAD; + Tools for knowledge intensive CAD; + Methodologies for knowledge intensive CAD; + Implementation of knowledge intensive CAD; + Applications of knowledge intensive CAD; + Evolution of knowledge intensive design for the life-cycle; + Formal methods. The volume is essential reading for researchers, graduate and postgraduate students, systems developers of advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing systems, and engineers involved in industrial applications.
