    Hi all,

    I'm starting a seminar at my company to acquaint beginning scientists with
    various AI techniques. Can anyone recommend good introductory material on
    any the following topics?

    Neural networks
    Belief nets (the Pearl book is good but more advanced than we have in mind
    for this setting)
    Expert systems
    Agents
    Fuzzy logic

    Ideally, we'd like to find a 100 to 200 page book on each of these topics,
    roughly analagous to Melanie Mitchell's book An Introduction to Genetic
    Algorithms, covering both basic theory and an overview of what type of
    problem a technique is most suited to. However, it seems that truly
    introductory material on some of these topics is hard to find. Any help will
    be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Rachel Cunningham
