"…a significant contribution to the artificial intelligence (AI) field. Edited by Professor Cornelius Leondes, a leading contributor to intelligent systems, this set of six well-integrated volumes on the subject of intelligent systems techniques and applications provides a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners. This landmark work features contributions from more than 60 of the world's foremost AI authorities in industry, government, and academia. Perhaps the most valuable feature of this work is the breadth of materials covered…should be in the possession of all individuals involved in the field of intelligent systems."- From the Foreword by Jack Durkin
