The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming is a multi-volume work covering all major areas of the application of logic to artificial intelligence and logic programming. The authors are chosen on an international basis and are leaders in the fields covered. Volume 5 is the last in this well-regarded series. Logic is now widely recognized as one of the foundational disciplines of computing. It has found applications in virtually all aspects of the subject, from software and hardware engineering to programming languages and artificial intelligence. In response to the growing need for an in-depth survey of these applications the Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and its companion, the Handbook of Logic in Computer Science have been created. The Handbooks are a combination of authoritative exposition, comprehensive survey, and fundamental research exploring the underlying themes in the various areas. Some mathematical background is assumed, and much of the material will be of interest to logicians and mathematicians. Volume 5 focuses particularly on logic programming. The chapters, which in many cases are of monograph length and scope, emphasize possible unifying themes.

The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming is a multi-author volume work covering all major areas of application of logic to AI and logic programming. Initially there will be six volumes containing a total of 43 articles, each article averaging around 75 pages in length but with some rather longer as the subject may demand. The authors are chosen on an international basis and are leaders in the fields covered. The Handbook is a closely co-ordinated work which has been under development for the past five years. Volume 3 covers nonmonotonic reasoning.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 98, held in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, in September 1998. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 57 submissions. The papers provide current results from research and development in design and specification of security policies, access control modelling and protocol analysis, mobile systems and anonymity, Java and mobile code, watermarking, intrusion detection and prevention, and specific threads.

BL A comprehensive five volume work BL Sets the standard in reference for logic and artificial intelligence The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming will be published in five volumes. The handbook comes in response to the growing need for an in-depth survey of the applications of logic in artificial intelligence and computer science. This first volume presents the logical foundations and deduction methodologies extensively used in AI.
