Geometry of Knowledge for Intelligent Systems

The book is on the geometry of agent knowledge. The important concept studied in this book is the Field and its Geometric Representation. To develop a geometric image of the gravity , Einstein used Tensor Calculus but this is very different from the knowl

Preface

There is a tremendous interest among researchers and application engineers in agent-based systems. These systems are increasing used virtually in every area right from healthcare to the computer games. The book is on the geometry of agent knowledge. Chapter 1 presents an introduction as well as the significance of the area of research presented in the book. Chapter 2 presents the connection between tensor calculus and formal concepts definition. The definition of the tensor calculus is evolved to model geometry transformations to simplify formal description of a given problem. Tensor calculus gives us invariant forms for any possible change of the reference in the geometric description of problems. Conversely, formal concept analysis presents the
