About the book

The book is a compendium of knowledge in the field of application of artificial intelligence methods, i.e. expert systems, neural networks, semantic networks and genetic algorithms, in production engineering. It provides the theoretical basis of the methods and examples of their use in practice. The application of artificial intelligence methods in technological planning and design as well as production control has been presented. The organization of production nests and flexible manufacturing and assembly systems as well as the issues of controlling them are described. The book is intended for students of engineering departments of production, organization and management, mechanical and related technical universities. It will also be useful for designers of manufacturing systems and control systems.
