NEW COMPUTING TECHNIQUES IN PHYSICS RESEARCH IV - PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERT SYSTEMS FOR HIGH ENERGY AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS

The term 'Artificial Intelligence' no longer means what it used to. The idea is still the same, i.e., the use of computing technology to perform tasks which only human beings could perform before. But today's scientists have gone beyond expert systems and computer algebra to new realms where complex problems are solved with tools like neural networks and fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, object-oriented programming, and powerful symbolic manipulation techniques. High energy and nuclear physicists have been among the first to exploit these new tools to solve real-world problems. This volume groups together over 100 such applications which were presented at the AIHENP95 Workshop in Pisa, Italy in April 1995.
