Handbook of Knowledge Representation

Knowledge Representation, which lies at the core of Artificial Intelligence, is concerned with encoding knowledge on computers to enable systems to reason automatically. This book reviews twenty-five key topics in knowledge representation. It is useful for students, researchers and practitioners in various areas of Artificial Intelligence.
