Summary:

This volume demonstrates how chemical problems can be solved through the use of expert systems, programs that attempt to solve problems the same way a human expert would. Its 18 chapters offer a discussion of advanced prototypes and how they were constructed, along with a wide range of expert systems that are being used to solve chemical problems. Three main sections cover general chemical applications, industrial applications, and analytical chemistry applications. Of special interest is a brief glossary in the first chapter that aids in reading the rest of the book.

Notes:

"Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Computers in Chemistry at the 196th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Los Angeles, California, September 25-30, 1988."
