Course Objective

The aim of this course is:
- to present the key concepts behind logic programming: logic as a declarative (context-free) language, how to write programs with logic, and how to make efficient implementations
- to introduce Prolog as the most common practical implementation of a logic programming language

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understand recursive structures, appending
2   Understand the potential applications of Logic programming
3   Represent knowledge in the form of Prolog facts and rules
4   Write simple Prolog programs that can compute relations using facts and rules
5   Demonstrate an understanding of the principles underlying Prolog, logic programming and its implementation
