Expert Systems

What is it about?

This monograph describes the use of expert sytems especially as models for cognition in anthropological systems but more generally in sociology and other behavioral and social sciences. The focus of the book is on rule-based systems applied both from the bottom-up and top-down. The former simulates human cognition, the latter is often more efficient for providing assistance.
