Abstract

This book covers a range of applications of logic to AI, from resolution to reflection. Some of the chapters cover current "hot" topics such as nonmonotonic reasoning and epistemic logic for which textbook summaries have not been available. Each chapter ends with a brief bibliographic essay covering work through 1987. For those who haven't kept up with the literature in each of the half-dozen current research areas covered, this book will serve as an admirable vade mecum. It is well-designed as a text for a theoretical course in artificial intelligence as well, provided one finds the logical point of view congenial.
