Appendix A: About the CD-ROM

CD Content

The CD-ROM contains a number of useful applications that demonstrate the properties of AI algorithmic techniques and methods. The methods and applications that demonstrate them are noted in this section.

Simulated Annealing

Simulated annealing, or modeling of systematic cooling of a molten metal to a solid, is described in Chapter 2. The theoretical N-Queens problem is used to demonstrate the constraint satisfaction properties of the algorithm. The algorithm and application can be found on the CD-ROM at ./software/ch2 .
