  • Logic Programming (WS 2014/2015)

    326.028

    Time: Wednesday 16:15-18:00. Room: HS 12. Lecturer: Temur Kutsia. Language: English. Start: October 8, 2014.

    Goals

    • Introduction to logic programming.
    • Understanding logical foundations and computational model.
    • Learning practical programming in Prolog.

    The final grade will depend on the assignment results and on the final exam at the end of the semester (solving assignments is a necessary precondition to be admitted to the exam).
