Overview

Flexible Query Answering Systems is an edited collection of contributed chapters. It focuses on developing computer systems capable of transforming a query into an answer with useful information. The emphasis is on problems associated with high-level intelligent answering systems. The coverage is multidisciplinary with chapters by authors from information science, logic, fuzzy systems, databases, artificial intelligence and knowledge representation. Each contribution represents a theory involving flexibility in query-answering, and each addresses specific answering problems. Flexible Query Answering Systems is a timely contribution for researchers working on high-level query mechanism systems.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews

An edited collection of 14 multidisciplinary contributions representing the fields of information science, logic, fuzzy systems, databases, artificial intelligence, and knowledge representation; most are based on work presented in earlier stages at November 1994 and May 1996 workshops in Denmark. The focus is on developing computer systems capable of transforming a query into an answer with useful information, emphasizing problems associated with high-level intelligent answering systems. Each chapter represents a theory involving flexibility in query-answering and addresses specific problems. Coverage includes such topics as fuzzy sets in flexible querying, non-standard database interactions, metareasoning agents, constructing aggregation functions, decision trees and databases.
