Description
This book is a collection of four books: The Litle Red Book of Artificial Intelligence; The Little Red Book of Service Science; The Little Red Book of Managing Uncertainty; andThe Little Red Book of Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing and Systems Ontology. The first book contains a gentle introduction to Artificial Intelligence, generally referred to as AI. It is not a textbook and not a reference book. It is intended for persons who desire to know what AI is all about, but do know very much about the subject to start with. It also covers about what AI is already, but it is more than that. It does answers the question "Can a machine think?" Even though most people are quite tired of that question. In fact, people are now more interested in what is going on. This book is special because the interests of the reader are taken into consideration. It is not for Artificial Intelligence experts and it is not an ego trip to enhance the author's reputation. This book is also about service, a concept that is part of our daily lives. Almost everything we do is related to service. Even if we don't recognize it. Doctors, lawyers, and truck drivers all perfom a service; that is obvious. There is is a real science to service. You can find out about it by reading this book. A good thing about this book is that you can open the book and start reading at any point and be able to clealy understand the subject mattter. If you aren't one already, people will think you are a genius. Believe me. There is an introductory section of the book with three flavors: Cybersecuriity, Cloud Computing, and Systems Ontology; all related to computers, artificial intelligence, and managing uncertainty.. It is not intended for specialists. It is too simple for them. As unusual as that sounds, there is a very good reason for its existence. There are existing books on the subjects that are very good but are very difficult to read. It's straightforward. The concepts are complicated and some require complex math Cybersecurity is about maintaining a secure envirnment for just about everything we do with computers. Cloud computing is intendedd to share the computer space beterrn organization and people. Ontology is then study what exists, It is philosophical. Ontology is about the existence of things that exist and how to describe and analyze them. In the world of philosophy, there are two basic concepts; there are synthetic things and analytic things. Synthetic things are based on ideas. Analytic things are about things that actually exist. That's a bit simple, but it is all we need at the moment. How is it that we can know about things that exist? We have to be able to describe them. It's that simple. This last book covers the subject of managing uncertainty. It is both a text book and a reference book on the application of Dempster-Shafer theory that has commanded a lot of attention in the business community. There is not much written on using the techniques, and that is unfortunate. The methods are extremely poweful and management and technical persons should know of their existence. A math background is not required to read and use the methods, even though some math descriptive techniques are necessary for efficiency of expression. Actually, the reader only needs to find out what can be done without having to actually do it. Finally, have a pleasureful reading. You deserve it !
