The book by Amit Konar is a new addition to the disciplines of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing. I am greatly charmed with the presentation style of the author. The chapters onImprecision and Uncertainty Management (ch.9), Fuzzy Petrinet (ch.10), Spatial and temporal Reasoning (ch.11), neural nets. (ch.14) and genetic algorithm (ch.15) impressed me much both for their simplicity and research-orientation. The book started with a humble beginning on psychological model of perception in chapter 2, and introduced many new concepts to formalize the theory of perception. The last two chapters in the book deal with applications of cognitive science in a criminology application and navigational planning of mobile robots respectively. The CD included with the book contains the programs used to demonstrate the concepts of the last two chapters. The programs can easily be run even by a novice user with the guidelines presented in Appendix-A.I wish you will enjoy reading this valuable book, the price paid for which is justified enough.

With all the material available in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and soft computing-texts, monographs, and journal articles-there remains a serious gap in the literature. Until now, there has been no comprehensive resource accessible to a broad audience yet containing a depth and breadth of information that enables the reader to fully understand and readily apply AI and soft computing concepts.Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing fills this gap. It presents both the traditional and the modern aspects of AI and soft computing in a clear, insightful, and highly comprehensive style. It provides an in-depth analysis of mathematical models and algorithms and demonstrates their applications in real world problems. Beginning with the behavioral perspective of "human cognition," the text covers the tools and techniques required for its intelligent realization on machines. The author addresses the classical aspects-search, symbolic logic, planning, and machine learning-in detail and includes the latest research in these areas. He introduces the modern aspects of soft computing from first principles and discusses them in a manner that enables a beginner to grasp the subject. He also covers a number of other leading aspects of AI research, including nonmonotonic and spatio-temporal reasoning, knowledge acquisition, and much more. Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing: Behavioral and Cognitive Modeling of the Human Brain is unique for its diverse content, clear presentation, and overall completeness. It provides a practical, detailed introduction that will prove valuable to computer science practitioners and students as well as to researchers migrating to the subject from other disciplines.
