Two Books, Same Content, Other One Is Better,
By Deck P. Murray (Huntington, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intelligent Decision Support Methods: The Science of Knowledge Work (Hardcover)
These authors have also written a book titled "Seven Methods For Transforming Corporate Data Into Business Intelligence". The two books ("Intelligent Decision Support" and "Seven Methods") are virtually identical. They have the same content, the same graphics, the same layout, the same case studies. The basic content (first 202 of 250 pages) is word for word, page for page IDENTICAL. The ONLY diffference between the 2 books is that "Seven Methods" includes suggested solutions for the case studies (adding about 1 page for each of the 7 case studies. If this book ("Intelligent Decision Support Methods") appears to be of interest, buy "Seven Methods For Transforming Corporate Data Into Business Intelligence" instead. Do NOT buy "Intelligent Decision Support Methods". It is twice as expensive with no benefit.

Right content, right size, simple to undersdand book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Intelligent Decision Support Methods: The Science of Knowledge Work (Hardcover)
If you ever wondered what the field of Artificial Intelligence is and what it is useful for -- this book is for you! The book goes through a series of AI algorithms, such as neural networks and genetic algorithms, and describes in just the right level of detail how they work and where they can be applied. There isn't a single line of code in that book, yet the concepts behind the algorithms are crystal clear. I am a professional software developer and I did not mind this lack of code because the book gave me precisely what I wanted -- conceptual understanding of the issues involved and how applicable they are in the real world. I read the book from the first page to the last. It is only about 200 pages. Every single page seems to carry useful and simple to understand information. The summary table at the end of each chapter makes it easy to compare and contrast the algorithms. The authors seem very knowledgeable, yet they spare the reader the "tech talk". They are also quite realistic about what exactly can and cannot be applicable in business. This book is as much for business people as it is for techies. I would HIGHLY recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book;right mix of technical and business perspecti,
By A Customer
This review is from: Intelligent Decision Support Methods: The Science of Knowledge Work (Hardcover)
The book presents an excellent treatment of intelligent systems technology. It provides enough technial details in a non-technical language to help understand the technologies. In addition, the technologies are described within the context of business problems that they can help solve. By providing this very well balanced approach, this book fills an important need.An excellent book for the business reader interested in intelligent technologies or a technologist interested in business applications. Also, serves well as an excellent textbook.
