Description

Artificial Intelligence: Concepts and Applications is a comprehensive discourse on the fundamental principles and concepts that lead to building artificially intelligent programs. It details the wide range of possible application areas where artificial intelligence can be used. The concepts of heuristic search and development of meta-heuristic algorithms has led a far way towards the development of computational intelligence algorithms and nature inspired algorithms that have been used in a variety of problem  solving methods.
