Intelligent Systems

This volume covers a wide range of present-day intelligent computing: artificial neural networks, game theory, semantic technologies, modeling tools, smart manufacturing, and data science. It also examines machine learning, evolutionary computation, Industry 4.0, and autonomous agents, which feed into the Internet of Things and may bring about another major technological upheaval.

The book is written mainly for IT specialists, but it is also useful to anyone who needs to adjust to emerging technologies as smart systems spread. Its fourteen chapters each describe a recent achievement in this fast-moving field.

Several chapters report on large European initiatives designed to make collaboration between intelligent systems more capable. Subjects include cybersecurity, three-dimensional digitization, robots that fly, and small and medium-sized enterprises that have adopted cyber-physical production systems. Taken together, the chapters show what artificial intelligence looks like today and how it might drive innovation.
