Intelligent Assistant Systems Concepts Techniques and Technologies 1st Edition by Roland H Kaschek ISBN 1591408784 9781591408789

Intelligent assistant systems information is becoming the raw material of modern society. Access to information spaces and the capability to use them effectively and efficiently has become a key economical success factor. Intelligent Assistant Systems: Concepts, Techniques and Technologies contributes to the development of particular kinds of software and intelligent assistant systems, highlighting preliminary answers to the question, “what is assistance?” Intelligent Assistant Systems: Concepts, Techniques and Technologies demonstrates that assistant systems will become reality, as the technology for implementing these systems is available and the problems that require assistance for their solutions are soon to be discovered. This book addresses intelligent assistant systems and issues, their scope, purpose, architecture, implementation, deployment, theoretical background, and use.”
