[Event at CIG] CALL FOR CHAPTERS for the book Advancing Artificial Intelligence through Biological Process Applications

[David Cox]

Friends,
There is a Web site that visually demonstrates 
the logic in any complex system.  It was invented 
at Procter & Gamble and is now in the public 
domain and freely available.  My interest is 
simply to make people in science, business, 
government, education aware of the method.  The 
diagrams resemble architectural floor layouts of 
rooms and corridors showing only valid 
passageways.  Your colleagues and book chapter 
authors may find it useful in explaining complex topics.

My best wishes for your important book.

Cheers,

David Cox  Cincinnati Ohio USA
