| 71.1 | TEST is the difference | MUNEDU::BUERKERT | HEINZ 57-Varieties | Mon Feb 06 1989 13:54 | 27 |
I started reading it and found already lots of exciting points:
1) this is the first book in the AI-literature I have seen which
gives the part TEST/VALIDATION and MAINTENANCE the wheight these
topics need - namely a lot!
2) I like the emphasis in the beginning of the book on the fact
that ' Knowledge crafting" is a software engineering/crafting
task and NOT so terribly different to "traditional" system - what
some(!) people following the AI-flag like to claim.
3) I like the distinction prototype vs. pilot. Think about:
can you install a prototype or a pilot at your customer?
I feel the phrase PROTOTYPE is getting misused more and more
for interrupted (and often not continued) development.
4) the book is extremely easy to read for non-native English
speakers/readers
5) I like the analogy with crafting e.g. boats (even if I understand
less about boats than about E.S.). It makes 'new' methods understandable
by explaining them with familiar concepts.
Thank you for this book
Heinz

| 71.2 | I finally read it ... | GLOBI::MANSER | They call me _tinker_ | Wed Jul 19 1989 11:33 | 25 |
o Part I+II
- provides a very detailed and complete description of the
development cycle of an ES
- begins from scratch (-> maybe repetition for some readers)
o Part III
- can (must) be recommended to anyone interested in knowledge
representation
- well and cleary written with helpful examples (-> super !!!)
o The book as a whole
- very good book for practitioners as well as for beginners in the
field of ES (-> best book I've ever read about ES by far !!!)
- contains a lot of "common sense" about development of an ES,
things one should now, but often is forgotten during a project
- makes good use of pictures, examples and analogies
o My recommendation
- read the chapters of this book again while you're doing a
project,
- use the book as a "handbook" to check if you're not missing any
important points
- recommend this book to anyone interested in _really_ doing ES
