This is currently the only book available on the development of
knowledge-based, and related, expert systems in chemistry and
toxicology. Written by a pioneer in the field, it shows how
computers can work with qualitative information where precise
numerical methods are not satisfactory. An underlying theme is the
current concern in society about the conflicts between basing
decisions on reasoned judgements and wanting precise decisions and
measurable effectiveness. As well as explaining how the computer
programs work, the book provides insights into how personal and
political factors influence scientific progress. The introduction
of regulations such as REACH in Europe and modifications to UN and
OECD Guidelines on assessment of chemical hazard mean that the use
of toxicity prediction is at a turning point. They put a heavy
burden on the chemical industry but, for the first time, allow for
the use of computer prediction to support or replace in vivo and in
vitro experiments. There is increasing recognition among scientists
and regulators that qualitative computer methods have much to offer
and that in some circumstances they may be more reliable and
informative than quantitative methods. This excellent introduction
to a field where employment opportunities are growing is aimed at
students, scientists and academics with a knowledge of chemistry.
