Computer Programming Information - HOME Computer Programming Information Advances in the Evolutionary Synthesis of Intelligent Agents by Mukesh Patel, Among the first uses of the computer was the development of programs to model perception, reasoning, learning, and evolution. Further developments resulted in computers and programs that exhibit aspects of intelligent behavior. The field of artificial intelligence is based on the premise that thought processes can be computationally modeled. Computational molecular biology brought a similar approach to the study of living systems. In both cases, hypotheses concerning the structure, function, and evolution of cognitive systems (natural as well ...

Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life - HOME Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life God, Life Intelligence and the Universe by Terence J. Kelly, The task given to the authors of these essays-three scholars from three different continents-was to examine the phenomenon of intelligence. We understand both human and animal intelligence. Extraterrestrial intelligence and artificial intelligence are now serious topics for debate and discussion. The possibilities of extraterrestrial intelligence and yet-to-be-developed forms of artificial intelligence pose questions about how intelligent animals are and what the implications are for our concept of God and the salvific work of Christ. ...

Intelligent Design Theory - HOME Intelligent Design Theory Intelligent Systems: Architecture, Design, Control by Alexander M. Meystel, A cutting-edge, multidisciplinary framework for intelligent systems While intelligence is a difficult concept to comprehend, research into its mechanisms and functions is rapidly exploding in both biological and artificial systems. This book introduces an original model of intelligent systems, integrating knowledge from diverse sources and developing a general theory that can be used for the analysis of all kinds of highly complex systems, from whole economies to integrated manufacturing. Intelligence as a computational phenomenon dwells upon grouping, focusing attention, and combinatorial search as its fundamental operators. In this groundbreaking work, Alex Meystel and James Albus, two of the foremost authorities in the field, draw on two decades of testing the theory in robots and other smart machines. (Dr. ...
