Intelligent Investments will be offering a series of training classes this summer.  
We offer consulting and systems development on a variety of topics.  We offer training 
and consulting at your site, our site, or via the Internet. We have classes being scheduled 
on the east coast (Greensboro, NC and Philadelphia, PA), the west coast (Oakland, CA)
the southeast (Dallas, TX) and Asia (Singapore).

Classes available:

Developing Expert Systems using CLIPS (4 days)
Developing Object Oriented Knowledge-based Systems (4 days)
Uncertainty Management in Expert Systems (3 days)
Developing Diagnostic Expert Systems (3 days)
Interfacing Expert Systems to the Real World (2 days)
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (4 days)
Ada Fundamentals (5 days)
C/UNIX (3 days)

Our most popular courses are:


Building Expert Systems

This course will teach the theoretic fundamentals of knowledge-based systems,
the design techniques of knowledge-based systems, and will present how to
implement knowledge-based systems using NASA's "C" Language Integrated
Production System (CLIPS). Students will attain a working knowledge of
terminology, techniques, and tools, and will be given hands-on
experience using CLIPS and a copy of CLIPS to take with them. Students will
also build several small systems.


Developing Object-Oriented Knowledge-Based Systems

This course presents how to implement sophisticated intelligent systems.
Students will be given hands-on experience using CLIPS (NASA's "C" Language
Integrated Production System) by building several small systems.  Students
will be given a copy of CLIPS to take with them.

Course topics include: truth-maintenance; probabilistic reasoning;
object-oriented knowledge-based systems; using CLIPS for intelligent
database queries; embedding CLIPS for knowledge-based control systems.
A discussion of research around the world on knowledge-based systems,
including real-time systems and distributed artificial intelligence
(cooperative systems) will occur.


Instructor: David Goldstein, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in Computer Science
        Dr. Goldstein as chair of the 1993 American Association for
        Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) workshop in Intelligent
        Manufacturing Technology, and is an officer of AAAI's Special Interest
        Group in Manufacturing.  He has over 50 papers published in the fields
        of knowledge-based systems, simulations, and object-oriented analysis.


We also begining a new service: a computer-science Bed & Breakfast.  Schedules 
permitting, we will pick you up at the airport, house you, provide three (modest) meals
 a day, provide you with access to one of the largest personal, computer science libraries
in existance, and provide nightly consulting sessions with several Ph.D.'s and several
graduate students.  We will provide any reasonable services during your stay.  You will also have 
access to Pentium machines with a dozens of software packagesat hand and a 
connection to the Internet.
