Abstract
Decision making is an inherent element of a life. Now, it is not an exclusive domain of animals or people any more. Decision making has become an integral part of the behaviour of most equipment around as. From a power tool and a radio receiver in a car to huge cloud systems hosting social networks—they all make decisions. A drill which stops when its engine is too hot is probably not an example of artificial intelligence; however, it does have a knowledge about the state when it needs to stop the engine. That knowledge is included in the parameters of a thermal switch. The same behaviour in a kitchen robot can be obtained by implementing a formal rule in its embedded software. In contemporary data systems, production automation, mass client services, games and currently in social networks, expectations of decision–making systems are becoming exorbitant, thus we are in need of more sophisticated methods including some forms of artificial intelligence.
