What is Intelligent Systems Engineering?
Intelligent systems engineering (ISE) is a blanket term used to refer to a variety of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches, including neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, model-based prediction and control, case-based diagnostic systems, conventional control theory, and symbolic AI. The term intelligent systems engineering is most frequently used in the context of AI applied to specific industrial challenges such as optimizing a process sequence in a sugar factory. Intelligent systems engineering tends to refer to the creation of short-term, narrow-task, marketable AI, rather than long-term, flexible, generally intelligent AI. There exist university departments in a number of countries focusing on intelligent systems engineering. Both the terminology and general philosophy of ISE derive from a blend of mechanical and electrical engineering and computer science. ISE programs frequently exist within mechanical engineering departments. Intelligent systems are usually meant to be c
