Description & Coverage
Description:

The integration of artificial intelligence and knowledge based methods and technologies as well as computer based information systems has created the next generation of information systems – intelligent information systems. This connection enables these new information systems to demonstrate novel capabilities, in particular: supporting users in decision making, processing data, discovering and processing knowledge, and reasoning under uncertainty.

Knowledge-Based Intelligent System Advancements: Systemic and Cybernetic Approaches presents selected new AI–based ideas and methods for analysis and decision making in intelligent information systems derived using systemic and cybernetic approaches. This book is useful for researchers, practitioners and students interested intelligent information retrieval and processing, machine learning and adaptation, knowledge discovery, applications of fuzzy based methods and neural networks.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Autonomous mobile robot learning
  • Collaborative networks of enterprises
  • Fuzzy logic based modeling
  • Intelligent e-learning systems
  • Multivariable fuzzy control
  • Object Recognition
  • Probabilistic temporal network
  • Self-tuning control systems
  • Stochastic learning-based weak estimation
  • Two-stage adaptive decision making system
Reviews & Statements

This book, devoted to cybernetic and systemic approaches to knowledge-based intelligent systems, is founded mainly on communications at the 14th International Congress of Cybernetics and Systems of the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics (Wroclaw 2008) completed by other contributions, on the same subjects, by renowned scientists. The nineteen chapters have been written sixty years after the publication of Cybernetics and forty years after that of General System Theory. During this period of about half a century, cybernetics and systems have evolved. It is interesting to observe in which directions they seem to move now, at least in the field of knowledge-based intelligent systems.

– Robert Vallée, Professeur émérite à l’Université Paris-Nord, President of the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics

Editor/Author Biographies
Jerzy Józefczyk graduated in automatic control systems from the Wroclaw University of Technology, in 1980. He received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Poznan University of Technology, in 1987, and Dr. Sc. degree in automation and robotics from the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, in 1996. Presently, he is a full professor in the Wroclaw University of Technology, and a head of the Department of Intelligent Decision Making Systems. His research interests include operations research, complex control systems, uncertain systems and artificial intelligence which resulted in more than 100 publications. He was a Scientific Secretary of the Committee of Automation and Robotics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1988–2006 and a member of this Committee from 1988. He is currently a member of a Board of Directors of the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics.
Donat Orski received M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the Wroclaw University of Technology (WUT), in 1995 and 2000, respectively. Currently, he is an assistant professor in the Department of Intelligent Decision Making Systems in WUT. His research interests include knowledge-based systems, expert systems, uncertain systems, neural networks, learning systems, and their applications to decision making in complex operation systems. He is an author or co-author of more than 30 conference papers, journal articles and book chapters on these topics.
