Neural and Intelligent Systems Integration: Fifth and Sixth Generation Integrated Reasoning Information Systems (Sixth Generation Computer Technologies)

Combines new techniques of software automation, system adaptation, module selection, self-organization and automated discovery. Presents results from the IRIS Group--findings from American, European, Korean and Japanese projects on this emerging discipline. Explores methods of combining well-defined intelligent modules for integration into intelligent systems. Modules include intelligent algorithms and programs, neural networks and computing elements, fuzzy data comparators and correlators, spare distributed memories, expert systems, intelligent databases, associative and parallel processing units, and data acquisition, control and robot units.
