The Nordic countries are traditionally strong in the application of new computer technology. This work represents the state of the art in some of the artificial intelligence areas currently subject to active R&D. International researchers present 24 papers in the following areas: automated reasoning; qualitative reasoning; machine learning; neural networks; and knowledge-based systems. Both basic and applied AI research are represented.

The theme of this book is Knowledge and Media in Learning Systems, and papers that explore the emerging roles of intelligent multimedia and distributed technologies as well as computer supported collaboration within that theme are included. The spread of topics is very wide encompassing both well- established areas such as student modelling as well as more novel topics such as distributed intelligent tutoring on the World Wide Web. Far from undermining the need to understand how learning and teaching interact, the newer media continue to emphasise the interdependence of these two processes. Collaboration and tools for collaboration are the major topics of interest. Understanding how human learners collaborate, how peer tutoring works and how the computer can play a useful role as either a more able of even a less able learning partner are all explored here.

Much has been said about managing herpesvirus infections since the discovery of acyclovir more than 15 years ago. This book aims to bring practical advice to the key clinician who is faced with managing these infections. It addresses questions like: there are antiviral treatments for many of these infections, but who should be getting these drugs and who should not? What are the advantages, if any, of the new drugs over the old ones? Which patients should be targeted for intervention? What is the clinical reality of antiviral resistance? Where do the up and coming vaccines fit into the picture? When should therapy be discontinued or reassessed? How are patients presenting other than chorioretinitis in AIDS or pneumonitis in transplantation? The contributing clinician scientists deal with these questions and many more.

Intelligent Systems can be defined as systems whose design, mainly based on computational techniques, is supported, in some parts, by operations and processing skills inspired by human reasoning and behaviour. Intelligent Systems must typically operate in a scenario in which non-linearities are the rule and not as a disturbing effect to be corrected. Finally, Intelligent Systems also have to incorporate advanced sensory technology in order to simplify man-machine interactions. Several algorithms are currently the ordinary tools of Intelligent Systems. This book contains a selection of contributions regarding Intelligent Systems by experts in diverse fields. Topics discussed in the book are: Applications of Intelligent Systems in Modelling and Prediction of Environmental Changes, Cellular Neural Networks for NonLinear Filtering, NNs for Signal Processing, Image Processing, Transportation Intelligent Systems, Intelligent Techniques in Power Electronics, Applications in Medicine and Surgery, Hardware Implementation and Learning of NNs.

The major theme of this book is Intelligent Agents. An agent is a hardware or software system that is autonomous, interactive with and reactive to its environment and other agents. An agent can also be pro-active in taking the initiative in goal-directed behaviour. Intelligent Agents are one of the most important and exciting areas of research and development in computer science today.
