Reference Material

Books

I also suggest some books on Prolog programming, but before going out there and purchasing them or fight for the library copy, see the section on on-line material for some electronic, freely available tutorials and reference manuals.

• David L. Poole, Alan K. Mackworth, and Randy Goebel: Computational Intelligence: A Logical Approach, Oxford University Press, 1998. Call number Q 335 .P657 1998.

  This is quite an interesting book, as it considers most of the matter that we discuss throughout the course from a logic programming (Prolog) perspective. You may find it useful as another view on AI, but it may also help you in understanding Prolog.

• W. F. Clocksin and C. S. Mellish: Programming in Prolog, Springer, Third edition, 1994. Call number: QA 76.73 .P76 C57 1987.

  The bible of Prolog programming.

• Ivan Bratko: Prolog Programming for Artificial Intelligence, Third edition, Addison Wesley, 2001. Call number: Q 336 .B74 2000.

  Another good book on Prolog programming.

All these texts are on reserve in the library.
