Knowledge-Based Systems in Artificial Intelligence. Ships quickly and with care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: This book reports in detail on two major research efforts in the area of Artificial Intelligence known as knowledge engineering. In recent years there has been increasing interest in building programs which rely on large stores of task-specific know-edge as a basis for high performance. The two case studies reported here explore the methodology and technology of designing, constructing. and operating such systems. Each of the two programs represents the foundation of a new sub-field of Artificial Intelligence. The first, called AM, deals with paradigms of mathematical discovery and scientific research, starting from a knowledge base of elementary set theory concepts and a number of heuristic rules for exploring them. Unlike previous research programs, AM is not a theorem-prover, but a theorem-proposer: its task is to discover, to infer. to "notice" new concepts built from older ones. This work has been guided by Douglas Lenat. The second program, TEIRESIAS, examines the problem of building and using knowledge-based systems, and the use of meta-level rules. It stud-les in particular the acquisition of knowledge from experts, techniques for adding that information to the knowledge base, and ways of controlling its use. TEIRESIAS demonstrates that it is possible to forge a direct link between an expert and a knowledge-based system, and to allow the expert to test, evaluate, and correct the performance of the system. It has been developed by Randall Davis. This book is unique in the literature of Artificial Intelligence. It presents an account of actual experience in program design, construction, and operation, and researchers will find its information and precise techniques quite valuable. It is also the first such volume in the fast-growing field of knowledge engineering, and quite readable at that, and will provide otherwise inaccessible information to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Al. The Introduction, by E. A. Feigenbaum and B. G. Buchanan, sets the historical context for the two case studies and discusses the significance of the efforts of Davis and Lenat.…

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
