Product Description
The third edition of this best-selling guide to Prolog and Artificial Intelligence has been updated to include key developments in the field while retaining its lucid approach to these topics. Divided into two parts, the first part of the book introduces the programming language Prolog, while the second part teaches Artificial Intelligence using Prolog as a tool for the implementation of AI techniques.  Prolog has its roots in logic, however the main aim of this book is to teach Prolog as a practical programming tool. This text therefore concentrates on the art of using the basic mechanisms of Prolog to solve interesting problems. The third edition has been fully revised and extended to provide an even greater range of applications, which further enhance its value as a self-contained guide to Prolog, AI or AI Programming for students and professional programmers alike.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   15 of 16 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, easy to follow, 2 Dec 2001 By A Customer I used this book at university for my final year project in AI, I started from knowing nothing about Prolog and AI, to have written an AI game in Prolog, in about 2 months. This book gives a clear and concise view of what can be achieved with Prolog, and with ample of examples I don't need to look anywhere else. The structure of the book is well planned, it begins with really simple things, then go on to very complicated stuff, while user of the book CAN follow what's happening. I highly recommend this book to everyone learning Prolog for AI. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Its an excellent first book on Prolog programming. It also takes you far into the subject, up to a point where you should be able to write useable Prolog programs. Much more clearly written than "Programming in Prolog" Prolog by Clocksin and Mellish, and it covers the same ground. Prolog is not for everyone. You have to be quite intelligent to be able to use it effectively. And its not a general-purpose language. But Prolog is excellent for some applications, such as writing Expert Systems, Natural Language Parsers, and other A.I. applications. This book is best used in combination with a prolog compiler/interpreter, so you can try out Prolog as you read about it. There are some free ones available on the Web.

I really like this book. Professor Ivan Bratko is really the ultimate reference on the subject. This book is not only a best seller; it is the unavoidable book in all good libraries on the topic. It is definitively a must have. Incredible, fantastic, pragmatic, very clear and well explained, not much theoretical ...... excellent ! Thank you professor Bratko for your contribution to the evolution of mankind. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
