The marriage of intelligent systems and multimedia has spawned exciting new applications in fields as diverse as training, marketing, and games. This book bridges the gap between multimedia and intelligent systems design, teaching users of one the precepts of the other, while showing developers how to integrate these two technologies. Focusing on systems for use in education and entertainment, the book includes step-by-step plans for developing two small systems: a Spanish language tutor and a toaster repair system. The CD includes source code for both systems as well as an Intelligent System Shell that users can use to create their own systems.
