Terashima N. Intelligent communication systems

San Diego: Academic press. - 2002. - 215 p. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to telecommunication technology results in what is called the intelligent communication system. Research on the intelligent communication system includes the application of AI to telecommunications to produce human-friendly interfaces to telecommunication services, telecommunication description methods that are easy to use, and human-friendly telecommunication environments. The intelligent communication system is a direct result of more than 10 years of industry experience, research activity, and education. In this book, the fundamentals of the foregoing research areas are described. For the research on telecommunication description methods, a description method based on state space is described. For the research on human-friendly interfaces for telecommunication services, AI applications that employ production systems, semantic networks, and predicate logic are described. For the research on human-friendly telecommunication environments, the concepts of Telesensation and HyperReality are described. Fundamental technologies such as computer vision are also discussed. Before launching into these research areas, the book first covers telecommunication fundamentals, telecommunication network structures, advances in telecommunication systems, information superhighways, and newly developed telecommunication systems.PrefeceInformation Technology
