Logic Programming Kartoniert (TB)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Logic Programming ICLP 2009 held in Pasadena CA USA in July2009. The 29 revised full papers together with 9 short papers 4 invited talks 4 invited tutorials and the abstracts of 18 doctoral consortium articles were carefully reviewed and selected from 69 initial submissions. The papers cover all issues of current research in logic programming namely semantic foundations formalisms nonmonotonic reasoning knowledge representation compilation memory management virtual machines parallelism progr am analysis program transformation validation and verification debugging profiling concurrency objects coordination mobility higher order types modes programming techniques abductive logic programming answer set programming constraint logic programming inductive logic programming alternative inference engines and mechanisms deductive databases data integration software engineering natural language web tools internet agents artificial intelligence bioinformatics.
