About this Item

Neuware - Logic is now widely recognized to be one of the foundational disciplines of computing with applications in virtually all aspects of the subject, from software engineering and hardware development to programming languages and artificial intelligence. There is a growing need for an in-depthsurvey of the applications of logic in AI and computer science. The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming and its companion, Handbook of Logic in Computer Science, have been created in response to this need. This book is a combination of authoritative exposition, comprehensive survey, and fundamental research that explores underlying unifying themes in the various subject areas. Chapters have been written by an internationally renowned team of researchers and are coordinated in terms of the theories discussed and the examples offered. This book will be ofinterest to graduate students and researchers in all areas of artificial intelligence, computer science, and logic, as well as to logicians and mathematicians.

About this title

Synopsis

Logic is now widely recognized to be one of the foundational disciplines of computing and has found applications in virtually all aspects of the subject, from software engineering and hardware to programming languages and artificial intelligence. This Handbook has been created in response to the growing need for an in-depth survey of the applications of logic in AI and computer science.

The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming will be published in five volumes. Each volume provides a combination of authoritative exposition, comprehensive survey, and fundamental research exploring the underlying unifying themes in the various areas. this first volume presents the logical foundations and deduction methodologies extensively used in AI.

Review

Review of the first three volumes: `.. an essential acquisition for any library covering theoretical computer science and highly desirable for any researcher in the field.' Times Higher Education Supplement

Review of the first three volumes: `... the first three volumes... represent a detailed and comprehensive exposition of the theoretical and computational features of a wide variety of classical and non-classical logics.'`... can be unreservedly recommended to AI practitioners with proficiency in logic and commitment to its role in the development of AI systems.'The Computer Journal
