Summary

The handbook of logic in artificial intelligence and logic programming is an international reference work in five volumes. It has been created in response to the growing need for an in-depth survey of the applications of logic in artifical intelligence. The dramatic increase in research inrecent years means that logic is now widely recognised as one of the foundational disciplines of computing and has found applications in virtually all aspects of the subject, from software engineering and hardware to programming languages and artificial intelligence. Yet this handbook is the firstauthoritative text to pull together the accumulated research level material, and as such is a unique and invaluable reference source. The Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming is a multi-author multi-volume work covering all the major areas of application of logic to artifical intelligence and logic programming. The Handbook comprises five volumes, each an in-depth overview of one of the major topicsin this area. It is the result of years of co-operative effort by internationally renowned researchers in the field, and will no doubt be the standard reference work in artifical intelligence and logic programming for years to come- essential reading for all those interested in this subject. Thislatest volume covers, among other subjects, epistemic reasoning, time and change for AI, and temporal nonmonotonic reasoning.
