Description:
A comprehensive look at General automata and how it can be used to establish the fundamentals for communication in human-computer systems
Drawing on author Eldo C. Koenig's extensive expertise and culling from his thirty-four previously published works, this seminal resource presents knowledge structures for communication in Human-Computer Systems (HCS) based on General automata. The resulting model provides knowledge representations for software engineering.
Of the many features required for a method to achieve the desired communication in HCS, Knowledge Structures for Communications in Human-Computer Systems identifies six of them in great length-extracting and storing the knowledge of sentences; knowledge association; deductive processes; inferences; feedback; and sequencing of knowledge-along with illustrations for achieving them by the General Automata Method. After presenting the analysis for each feature, the book includes practical applications that illustrate the results. Koenig also describes algorithms and programs that achieve some of the features, and provides readers with additional algorithms and further research.
Richly illustrated throughout to elucidate concepts, Knowledge Structures for Communications in Human-Computer Systems is an excellent teaching text suitable for both academic and industrial settings.
Review Quotes: "Essential teaching resource; exhaustive bibliography, including Koenig's 34 previously published works on GAM in HCS." (CHOICE, April 2007)
"Readers have been provided with more than sufficient detail-led analysis and practical illustrations..." (Kybernetes, Volume 36, No.34, 2007)
