Katsaus tekoälyyn : tekoäly ja sen sovellutukset
Postgraduate seminar series with a title artificial intelligence and logic held at the Department of Military Technology of the National Defence University in 2020 and 2021. This book is a collection of some of talks that were presented in the seminar. The papers address ethics in autonomous military technology, algorithmic thinking, application of fuzzy logic in the Armed Forces, logic and skill, use of artificial intelligence technologies in information and psychological warfare, cyber security risks of artificial intelligence applications and algorithms, information acquisition strategies and artificial intelligence to support learning. This set of papers tries to give some insight to current issues of the artificial intelligence and logic.
Seminars at the Department of Military Technology have a tradition to make publication based on the presentations, but only as an internal publication of the Finnish Defence Forces and in such a way has not hindered publication of the papers e.g. in international conferences. Publication of these papers in peer reviewed conferences has indeed been always the goal of the seminar, since it teaches writing conference level papers. We still hope that an internal publication in the department series is useful to the Finnish Defence Forces by offering an easy access to these papers

The development of Spatial Intelligent Agents With Geographic Information Systems
The manipulation of geographic information (GI) has been considered, by most of its users, as a very complex process and has involved the development of specific applications called geographic information systems (GIS). A new subdiscipline of Information Science called Geographic Information Science (GISc) has been proposed by the GIS research community on the grounds that there are specific characteristics not only to GI but also to the processes involved in its manipulation.
The thesis draws on several research issues which are part of the agenda in GISc: The complexity of handling spatial/geographic information, spatial reasoning in dynamical systems, integration of several types of application, human-computer interaction and spatio-temporal issues.
In this context, this dissertation proposes the application of a new computational paradigm, intelligent agents in GISc. Intelligent agents are “computational systems that inhabit some complex dynamic environment, sense and act autonomously, and by doing so realise a set of goals or tasks for which they are designed “ (Maes, 1995).
The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the potential of research in intelligent agents in GISc and to explore the use of simple learning techniques to improve the adaptability of spatial intelligent agents. The thesis involves the following objectives: to analyse the needs of research in GISc in the areas of reasoning about geographic space; to study the potential of intelligent agents in that area of research; to explore the use of simple learning techniques to improve the adaptability of intelligent agents for geographic information; and to explore the implementation environments of GIS software for the integration of intelligent agent systems.
The primary contributions of this research are three case studies which use intelligent agents in a spatial or geographic context: a simple non-adaptive interface assistant for the printing and plotting tool of Smallworld GIS; an intelligent assistant that uses memory-based reasoning to identify and locate specific-purpose geographic information; a simulation of a car park where agents are cars that use reinforcement learning techniques to improve their parking performance
