Controlling Uncertainty: Decision Making and Learning in Complex Worlds reviews and discusses the most current research relating to the ways we can control the uncertain world around us.
A readable and informative synthetic summary
By Overly Curious Cat on Jan 13, 2011
This book does an good job of drawing out the common threads of the need to cope with uncertain environments in the largely separate research traditions associated with the disparate areas of AI, human factors, control systems, cognitive psychology and neuroscience. It then draws these threads together in a synthetic summary that will be useful to anyone who is interested in the problem of coping with uncertainty. This book will probably be particularly useful to someone who is an expert in one of these research domains while being only vaguely if at all familiar with the others. For example, as a cognitive psychologist, I found this book was telling me interesting things from other disciplines that I would probably not have come across on my own.
