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 an international reference work in five volumes. It has been created in response to the growing need for an in-depth survey of the applications of logic in artifical intelligence. The dramatic increase in research in recent years means that logic is now widely recognised as one of the foundational disciplines of computing and has found applications in virtually all aspects of the subject, from software engineeringand hardware to programming languages and artificial intelligence. Yet this handbook is the first authoritative text to pull together the accumulated research level material, and as such is a unique and invaluable reference source. The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming is a multi-author multi-volume work covering all the major areas of application of logic to artifical intelligence and logic programming. The Handbook comprises five volumes, each an in-depth overview of one of the major topics in this area. It is the result of years of co-operative effort by internationally renowned researchers in the field, and will no doubt be the standard reference work in artifical intelligence and logic programming for years to come- essential reading for all those interested in this subject. This latest volume covers, among other subjects, epistemic reasoning, time and change for AI, and temporal nonmonotonic reasoning.

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.

Addressed to readers at different levels of programming expertise, The Practice ofProlog offers a departure from current books that focus on small programming examples requiringadditional instruction in order to extend them to full programming projects. It shows how to designand organize moderate to large Prolog programs, providing a collection of eight programmingprojects, each with a particular application, and illustrating how a Prolog program was written tosolve the application. These range from a simple learning program to designing a database formolecular biology to natural language generation from plans and stream data analysis.Leon Sterlingis Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering and Science at Case Western ReserveUniversity.
