Part of a multivolume work covering the application of logic to artificial intelligence and logic programming.

Logic is now widely recognized to be one of the foundational disciplines of computing with applications reaching almost every aspect of the subject, from software engineering and hardware to programming languages and artificial intelligence. The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and
Logic Programming is a multi-volume work covering all major areas of application of logic to AI and logic programming. Each volume features a combination of authoritative exposition, comprehensive survey, and fundamental research exploring the underlying themes in various areas. Volumes 1 and 2
present the logical foundations and deduction methodologies extensively used in AI. Volumes 3 and 4 cover reasoning, and Volume 5 details logic programming. The chapters, which in many cases are of monograph length and scope, emphasize possible unifying themes and are written by internationally
known researchers. Students and researchers of artificial intelligence, computer science, and logic will find this landmark reference invaluable to their work.

Review of the first three volumes: `... a detailed and comprehensive exposition of the theoretical and computational features of a wide variety of classical and non-classical logics.' `... can be unreservedly recommended to AI practitioners with proficiency in logic and commitment to its role in the development of AI systems.'
