| Course contents : | The new course will deal with an area-edge computer applications that is artificial intelligence.
The artificial intelligence was developed initially along two axes, at one hand, the expert systems and, at the other hand, the neural networks.
Expert systems are computer programs that allow encoding of know-how of human experts in a particular area: these programs are able to take decisions in the absence of these experts.
The neural networks are programs that simulate the neurons of a human brain and which are capable of automatic learning without programming. The applications of neural networks are numerous, for example, in pattern recognition, in fingerprint recognition, and in data mining.
A third axis of artificial intelligence has rapidly developed: intelligent agents and multi-agent systems that are based on distributed artificial intelligence.
An agent is an autonomous entity able to communicate with a partial knowledge of his surroundings and a private behavior, and an own enforcement capacity.
Many intelligent softwares have been developed in internet-based artificial management.
The more recent developments suggest to enhance intelligent systems with an artificial consciousness. |
|
| Course objective : | The objective of course is to familiarize students to the field of artificial intelligence and its contributions to management.
First, the course will present a brief history of artificial intelligence.
Then, it will address the methods and tools in artificial intelligence and software.
Finally practical applications will be presented to management. |
