Artificial intelligence research has thrived in the years since this best-selling AI classic was first published. The revision encompasses these advances by adapting its coding to Common Lisp, the well-documented language standard, and by bringing together even more useful programming tools. Today's programmers in AI will find this volume's superior coverage of programming techniques and easily applicable style anything but common.
This is a completely new edition of the classic AI programming text with the same title ... The authors give completely new explanations, new examples, and different implementations of various problems explored in this second edition ... If you want to develop AI programs in Lisp, you should read the new edition of Artificial Intelligence Programming.
