This volume is a broad-based collection of chapters that address the areas of overlap between the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and software engineering. A taxonomy of this overlap area is developed and related to other major attempts to address the interaction between these two fields. Each of the four major subareas-AI-based support environments, software engineering toolds and techniques, methodological issues of AI software development, and AI techniques in practical software is described and illustrated with representative examples.

There has been a growing interest during the 1990s in the use of multiple sensors to increase the capabilities of intelligent machines and systems. This text is a compendium of some of the most important and influential work that has appeared in this area. In addition, it contains comprehensive introductory material and an extensive survey and review of related research. The volume should be useful to everyone interested in the development of more intelligent machines and systems through the synergistic use of multiple sensors.

An in-depth description and analysis of some of the most important tools and techniques that are available to the professional artificial intelligence programmer, researcher, or student are presented in this text. The focus is primarily, but not exclusively, on expert system development tools, particularly those that have been in use in the USA and other countries for several years as well as some newer tools or extensions to existing tools. These tools are primarily rule-based and frame-based systems with support for functional object-oriented, and access-oriented programming paradigms. Some

Although there has been a great deal of research and development of linguisitic and symbolic knowledge-based systems, spatial reasoning has emerged as an independent field. Previously, problems related to space and time were separately considered in computer graphics, computer vision, image processing, robotics, computer-integrated manufacturing, computational complexity, spatial databases, natural language processing, cognitive science, and expert status of fundamental issues and problems.

Based on material used by the authors in their teaching, this volume provides a detailed comparison and study of the various methods for reasoning about software. The material offers a comprehensive understanding of which program structures are easier to manipulate by formal techniques, thus allowing professionals to write programs that are easier to reason about informally. The basic technology presented should be of use in all programming environments.
