Intelligent Information Systems (4+1)

1. General information 
 
The science of building artificial intelligent systems takes the central place in the engineering sciences. There are two main approaches in developing artificial intelligent systems: machines that incorporate intelligence – robots, and one that starts with biological systems and leads towards artificial being – bioinformatics and bioengineering. The Intelligent System Engineering is the place where students can understand and develop intelligent systems in solving real-life problems.
