Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning

Klappentext

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning, LPAR 2007, held in Yerevan, Armenia. It contains 36 revised full papers, 15 short papers and three invited talks that were carefully selected from 78 submissions. The papers address all current issues in logic programming, logic-based program manipulation, formal method, automated reasoning, and various kinds of AI logics.
