Artificial Intelligence: Structures and Strategies for Complex Problem Solving is ideal for a one- or two-semester undergraduate course on AI.In this accessible, comprehensive text, George Luger captures the essence of artificial intelligence-solving the complex problems that arise wherever computer technology is applied. Ideal for an undergraduate course in AI, the Sixth Edition presents the fundamental concepts of the discipline first then goes into detail with the practical information necessary to implement the algorithms and strategies discussed. Readers learn how to use a number of different software tools and techniques to address the many challenges faced by todays computer scientists.

• Accessible presentation: The combination of a thorough and balanced treatment of the theoretical foundations of intelligent problem solving with the data structures and algorithms needed for implementation provides a holistic picture for students. | AI foundations: A unique discussion of the history of AI and social and the associated philosophical issues is presented in the early chapters. | Applied programming languages: Example programs are written in three programming languages, Prolog, Lisp, and Java | Applications in context: The practical applications of AI are put into context using model-based reasoning and planning examples from the NASA space program. Comments on the AI endeavor from the perspectives of philosophy, psychology and neuro-physiology give students a holistic picture of AI
