Artificial intelligence has recently turned to formal logic in the search for powerful yet well-behaved knowledge representation languages. This book covers the background of classical logic, including the major meta-theorems, and the state of the art in theorem proving including Bibel's connection

<p><p>Techniques used for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in commercial video games are still far from state-of-the art in Academia, but with graphics in video games coming close to photo realistic quality, and multi-processor architectures getting common in console and PC game platforms, sophisticated

Artificial Intelligence (AI) forms an essential branch of computer science. The field covered by AI is multiform and gathers subjects as various as the engineering of knowledge, the automatic treatment of the language, the training and the systems multiagents, to quote only some of them. The history

10 ways to tap into your creative genius Did you know the number of ideas it is possible for your brain to create is greater than the number of atoms in the known universe? Creativity is not just painting a picture or playing an instrument -- it can be part of every decision you take! This book is

Univ. of Turku, Finland. Provides an overview of cell invasion. Topics include information on the cellular matrix, cell surface integrins, matrix metalloproteinases and proteinases, and the interplay between protein families.
