Patrick Henry Winston, an American computer scientist and professor of Artificial Intelligence at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he already obtained his Ph.D. in 1970 under Marvin Minsky, where he concerned the difficulty of learning. His book Artificial Intelligence covers the broad range of AI-Issues, including Search, Alpha-Beta and Learning. Winston is also author of various books on Programming Languages, such as Java, Smalltalk, C, C++ and Lisp.
