This book and CD-ROM set contains the Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering (AIENG 98), held in Galway, Ireland, July 7-9, 1998. The hardbound book contains extended abstracts of each of the 45 papers presented, while the actual papers are contained on a searchable CD.
The annual conference series has always attracted leading researchers and its proceedings thus constitute a record of achievement in the field. The work of researchers from around the world is included, covering many branches of engineering. Among the AI techniques reviewed are neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, machine learning, distributed intelligence and rule-based systems.
