The goal of this course is the deeper understanding of PROLOG. During the course a detailed examination of the following topics are done:

  • Procedural and Declarative Programming
  • Logic Programming a version of Declarative Programming
  • The programming language PROLOG (PROLOG programs syntax, Lists, Operators, Arithmetic, Backtracking control, The negation in PROLOG, Recursive predicates, Data Structure manipulation, PROLOG implementation to searching problems, symbolic processing, natural language understanding and metaprogramming)
  • Logic Programming Theory
  • Logic Programming under restrictions
  • Logic Programming systems implementation technics
  • Parallel Logic Programming
  • Logic Programming for knowledge representation.

After completing the course the student can handle:

  • theoretical documentation of problems
  • solving exercises
  • implementations-applications
General Competences
  • Applications
  • Implementation- Consolidation
