Please tell me what parts of the aricle need expansion.Thanks Walter Fritz 21:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ideally, much of the early content could be collapsed into a single "background" section, with the rest of the article addressing applications, techniques, common challenges, etc. --Eyrian 21:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I am taking a course in Intelligent Systems Engineering at University. The depth of the field is a lot more than you explain in here. For example, your statement "A refrigerator is not an intelligent system since it cannot learn." may be incorrect, as a refrigerator may have a fuzzy logic controller installed in it to control the temperature inside, instead of a traditional feedback control mechanism. Fuzzy logic is defined as an intelligent system, because it uses decision making logic to infer an action from an input.

In that sense, you are wrong in saying that intelligent systems have to have memory. Fuzzy logic systems don't necessarily have to have memory, they can just be a logical processor with a degree of certainty rather than a crisp right or wrong processing technique.
If I was reading this article as a newcomer to Intelligent Systems, I would expect the following to be referred to;

Fuzzy Logic
Genetic Algorithms
Neural Networks
Expert Systems

Thanks a lot.

Though in all fairness these four topics you mentionned only need a brief mention as a full article on each already exists on wikipedia. GBobly 13:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I recommend this article be redirected, unless someone can (both)

1. Write an introduction that shows that how this field is distinguished from artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, or robotics.
2. Write something well sourced and substantial that would not be covered by those articles.

I'm convinced this term is notable, since there are journals which use the term in the title, but I think it probably just needs a brief mention in the articles on artificial intelligence or robotics. If "intelligent systems" is considered a synonym for artificial intelligence (it seems to be, according to first link: it says "intelligent systems is the #1 magazine in Artificial Intelligence!") I'd like to add it to the list of synonyms in introduction to artificial intelligence. ---- CharlesGillingham 04:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I plan on redirecting this article unless someone has an objection. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 19:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate the addition of a few references to the title of this article, but I still don't believe that the article defines "intelligent system" accurately or that the article shows how the field is related to artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, robotics and computational neuroscience. (I.e., how it is different than each of these; what makes it unique.) Help if you can. Remember that even if this article gets redirected, it can always be recreated if someone is able to provide adequate sources. ---- 21:58, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I have removed this article. Please feel free to revive it if you have sources that describe how intelligent systems differ from artificial intelligence. I have only removed the article because the existing content did not seem to capture the subject very well, and there was no content that I felt should be preserved. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 08:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
