Presents a theory of uncertainty, consistent with and combining the theories of probability and fuzzy sets. Extends the logic programming form of knowledge representation and method of inference to permit the inclusion of uncertainties such as probabilistic knowledge and fuzzy incompleteness. Describes the application to general areas of knowledge engineering including expert and decision-support systems, evidential and case-based reasoning, fuzzy control and databases. An accompanying disk for Macintosh and one for the IBM PC enables readers to implement the examples while following the text.

The knowledge engineer requires modelling paradigms and associative inference methods that can be used for software development of practical applications. This book presents a theory of uncertainty relevant to knowledge engineering that is consistent with, and brings together, the theories of probability and fuzzy sets. It extends the logic programming form of knowledge representation and method of inference to allow the inclusion of uncertainties such as probabilistic knowledge and fuzzy incompleteness. It describes the application to general areas of knowledge engineering such as expert and decision-support systems, evidential and case-based reasoning, fuzzy control and fuzzy databases. Fril, the artificial intelligence language that implements this theory of uncertainty in the style of logic programming, is presented, with many examples and modules for the various applications. Two Fril demonstration disks are provided free in the book, one for the Macintosh computer and one for the IBM PC, so that the reader can implement these examples while following the text.

"Follow me." "The barefoot stranger moved on to the simple asphalt road and began walking. An immense feeling of relief swept over Berdin. The stranger was gone, those haunting eyes were gone. He would go home to his new dull couch and watch "Cannibal Run" and forget all his troubles. He could forget he ever saw the stranger. He... he turned and hurried after the barefoot man.""In a future built on the motto, "fences and bars make men free to rebel," fences and bars-and even chains- are in abundance. humanity, guided by an artificial Intelligence system called the Evoluntionary Quantum Leap (EQL), fences itself in 12 communities, completely shutting out the international Wilderness. Men and women cast off all responsibility and live for themselves.""Utopia? Well, the EQL and its mouthpiece, Our Benevolent Liberator make it sound that way. But one regular citizen, Berdin Dwate, isn't so sure. His suspicions are confirmed by a barefoot stranger who claims to be from the International Wilderness and whose first words to Berdin are, "Follow me." In spite of himself, Berdin follows-and freedom takes on a whole new meaning..."

This book makes the case that Secular Humanism is a full-fledged religious worldview. It looks at historical positions of Secular Humanist leaders and shows how, in the past, they promoted their views as a religion in order to gain the perks of other religions, such as tax-exemption. Now that other religions have been forced out of the educational arena, Secular Humanism has been granted privileged access to government-sanctioned schools while claiming to be morally neutral, scientifically derived, and educationally fruitful.

In an exciting journey that begins with our assumptions about the nature of man, The Deadliest Monster explores the impact that such assumptions have on our beliefs about God, truth, morality, psychology and politics. Not surprisingly, the initial assumption colors all other beliefs, so that the book becomes a fascinating catalogue of the ways in which the Christian perspective better matches reality.
