The Seductive Computer
IT systems explode budget estimates, bust production deadlines by years, and then fail to work properly. Why this IT-system crisis? Poor programmers? Inadequate project management? No. The Seductive Computer argues that the fundamental nature of programming technology itself is the real culprit; it promises perfection but can only deliver emergent chaos. It is also an insidiously compelling technology, peculiarly male oriented. IT systems, an unavoidable and increasing reality in all our lives, are something new to man - large-scale discrete complexity. The Seductive Computer explains this novelty that defies human understanding. This book illustrates in a simple yet thorough manner the unde...
Thought-provoking Thoughts About Living
Thought-Provoking Thoughts About Living... comprises some 500 epigrams-covering virtually every aspect of life and living-by a former news anchor who has traveled to 75 countries and lived and worked in 8 of them. It was first published as "Frankly Partridge," the name of the author's top-rated Rhodesian TV talk show. He also wrote the leaflet "Rhodesia... as it really is," 10 million copies of which were distributed in 42 countries. London's Daily Telegraph called it: "A drop of truth in an ocean of lies..." Derek Partridge also trained SWAT Teams during the Rhodesian terror war. To give you an idea what it's about, here are some review excerpts from Rhodesia. It was accorded the rare honor...
Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering
Managers, business owners, computer literate individuals, software developers, students, and researchers--all are looking for an understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and what might be in the future. In this literate yet easy-to-read discussion, Derek Partridge explains what artificial intelligence can and cannot do, and what it holds for applications such as banking, financial services, and expert systems of all kinds.

AI and Cognitive Science ’90
This book contains the edited versions of papers presented at the 3rd Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science, which was held at the University of Ulster at Jordanstown, Northern Ireland on 20-21 September 1990. The main aims of this annual conference are to promote AI research in Ireland, to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas amongst the different disciplines concerned with the study of cognition, and to provide an opportunity for industry to see what research is being carried out in Ireland and how they might benefit from the results of this research. Although most of the partiCipants at the conference came from universities and companies within Ireland, a ...

This outstanding collection is designed to address the fundamental issues and principles underlying the task of Artificial Intelligence.
Integration of Natural Language and Vision Processing
Although there has been much progress in developing theories, models and systems in the areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Vision Processing (VP), there has heretofore been little progress on integrating these two subareas of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This book contains a set of edited papers addressing theoretical issues and the grounding of representations in NLP and VP from philosophical and psychological points of view. The papers focus on site descriptions such as the reasoning work on space at Leeds, UK, the systems work of the ILS (Illinois, U.S.A.) and philosophical work on grounding at Torino, Italy, on Schank's earlier work on pragmatics and meaning incorporated int...
