Booknews
Focusing on the key application domains of AI, explains the role of logics and formal theories (particularly logic programming) in areas such as natural language processing, speech understanding, expert system design, truth maintenance systems, and requirement engineering. This volume, and two preceding works, From standard logic to logic programming and From modal logic to deductive databases, form a complete and consistent exposition of the role of logics in AI.
