ADAPTIVE RESONANCE THEORY MICROCHIPS, Circuit 
Design Techniques, describes circuit strategies resulting in 
efficient and functional adaptive resonance theory (ART) 
hardware systems. While ART algorithms have been developed 
in software by their creators, this is the first book that addresses 
efficient VLSI design of ART systems. All systems described in 
the book have been designed and fabricated (or are nearing 
completion) as VLSI microchips in anticipation of the 
impending proliferation of ART applications to autonomous 
intelligent systems. To accomodate these systems, the book not 
only provides circuit design techniques, but also validates them 
through experimental measurements. The book also includes a 
chapter tutorially describing four ART architectures (ART1, 
ARTMAP, Fuzzy-ART and Fuzzy-ARTMAP) while providing 
easily understandable MATLAB code examples to implement 
these four algorithms in software. In addition, an entire chapter 
is devoted to other potential applications in real-time data 
clustering and category learning.
