The book "Expert Systems in the CLIPS Environment" by A. A. Short is a fascinating and deep dive into the world of artificial intelligence and the development of expert systems. If you are interested in programming, artificial intelligence or just want to expand your knowledge in the field of computer technology, this publication will be a real find for you. Korotkin, known for his work in computer science and programming, offers readers a unique perspective on the creation and use of expert systems using the CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System) environment. This system, developed in 1985 to support the development of expert systems, has become one of the standards in this field. The book covers all aspects of working with CLIPS, ranging from basics to more complex concepts, making it useful for both beginners and experienced developers. One of the key topics raised in the book is the ability to create systems that can mimic human thinking and make decisions based on given rules and facts. Korotkin not only explains the theory, but also offers practical examples, which allows the reader not only to understand how CLIPS works, but also to learn how to apply the knowledge gained in practice. This makes the book especially valuable for students, graduate students and professionals working in the field of artificial intelligence. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers: from students of technical specialties to specialists in the field of information technology and software developers. If you want to know how systems are built that can analyze data and provide recommendations, then Expert Systems in the CLIPS environment will be a real guide for you. In it you will find not only theoretical foundations, but also practical tasks that will help to consolidate the studied material. The author's style is distinguished by clarity and accessibility of presentation. Korotkin is able to explain complex things in simple language, which allows even those who are just starting their way in programming to easily assimilate information. His previous work has also been noted by readers and critics, confirming his status as an expert in the field. The book "Expert Systems in the CLIPS Environment" is no exception, but only continues the tradition of high-quality and useful content. The themes that are raised in the book are diverse and relevant. These are the basics of working with knowledge bases, withdrawal methods, and strategies for optimizing the work of expert systems. Korotkin also touches on issues related to the ethical aspects of the use of artificial intelligence, making the book not only a technical guide, but also an important source for discussing broader social and philosophical issues. If you are looking for books on artificial intelligence, programming or software development, pay attention to "Expert systems in the CLIPS environment" This publication will not only enrich your knowledge, but also inspire you to create your own projects in the field of artificial intelligence.
