Learning unit contents

Classically a program is a piece of procedural knowledge. Allowing a more declarative style is often useful in artificial intelligence and other areas. First order logic is introduced here as a declarative programming technique. PROLOG is viewed as a partial but convenient implementation of the principles of logic programming.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Basic principles of logic programming.
Basic programming techniques in Prolog.
Automated deduction in Prolog.
From functional programming to logic programming: code improvement and simplification.
Verification of program correctness with respect to their specifications.
Elementary applications in artificial intelligence (puzzles, riddles, one- or two-player games).
