Reviews BOOKLIST, Reference Books Bulletin, American Library Association "This unusual reference book ranges into practically all aspects of work in artificial intelligence and expert systems areas, including robotics and vision systems. The first part, a survey of the recent history and current trends in artificial intelligence and expert systems, is a less-than-40 page masterpiece presenting Hunt's view of the current state of research in these areas. It traces the main lines of research interests starting with their roots back in the 1950's and it should be read by every undergraduate interested in this area. The second, and largest, component is a dictionary of terminology that is amazingly complete. The third section, titled "Points of Contact," is an extremely large list of companies and points of contact for research in various artificial intelligence areas. There is a section giving numerous acronyms; an outstanding bibliography, that is an almost ideal library list of AI and expert systems books, and a list of trademarks used by companies doing research and development. This volume is a must for every undergraduate computer science library collection." CHOICE - Current Reviews for College Libraries Table
