Computational Logic: Logic Programming and Beyond: Essays in Honour of Robert A. Kowalski, Part II (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

This volume spans the whole field of computational logic seen from the point of view of logic programming. The topics addressed range from issues concerning the development of programming languages in logic and the application of computational logic to real-life problems, to philosophical studies of the field at the other end of the spectrum. The articles presented cover the contributions of computational logic to databases and artificial intelligence with particular emphasis on automated reasoning, reasoning about actions and change, natural languages, and learning.Together with its companion volume, LNAI 2407, this book commemorates the 60th birthday of Bob Kowalski as one of the founders of and contributors to computational logic.Computational Logic: Logic Programming and Beyond: Essays in Honour of Robert A. Kowalski, Part II (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence), 2002 was published 2002 under ISBN 9783540439608 and ISBN 3540439609.
