Description:

One of the striking and successful areas of application of Prolog is to the implementation of expert systems. This book orients the presentation of Prolog programming toward the development of several approaches to the implementation of expert systems. Part I of the book introduces elementary Prolog programming. Part II presents advanced aspects while developing several large expert systems with examples of inherent interest to most people. In the second part, software design issues in the context of Prolog programming also are considered. Covering numerous expert systems examples, the exercises utilize real information from the everyday and scientific worlds as the basis for developing…
