Beschreibung
Logic Programming is the name given to a distinctive style of programming, very different from that of conventional programming languages such as C++ and Java. By far the most widely used Logic Programming language is Prolog. Prolog is a good choice for developing complex applications, especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
This book does not assume that the reader is an experienced programmer or has a background in Mathematics, Logic or Artificial Intelligence. It starts from scratch and aims to arrive at the point where quite powerful programs can be written in the language. It is intended both as a textbook for an introductory course and as a self-study book. On completion the reader will know enough to use Prolog in their own research or practical projects.
Each chapter has self-assessment exercises so that the reader may check their own progress. A glossary of the technical terms used completes the book.
Max Bramer is the Digital Professor of Information Technology at the University of Portsmouth, England. He has taught Prolog to undergraduate computer science students and used Prolog in his own work for many years.
PROLOG, means Programming in Logic. Prolog is a programming language that borrows its basic concepts from logic programming, especially useful for applications in artificial intelligence. Prolog has been used for a wide variety of applications, including as the basis for a standard ‘knowledge representation language’ for the Semantic Web – the next generation of internet technology. This book teaches the techniques of Logic Programming through the Prolog language. The book does not assume that the reader is an experienced programmer with a strong background in Mathematics, Logic or Artificial Intelligence. It starts from scratch and aims to take readers to a point where they can soon write powerful programs in the language. Includes a full glossary of the technical terms used as well as self-assessment exercises.
Covers principal features of the language, including unification and backtracking in detail using examples and diagrams – but without recourse to mathematical formalism Suitable as textbook or for self-study Aimed at those without strong background in Logic, AI or Mathematics, but takes reader to a point where they can write powerful programs in the language Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
