Prolog Programming Foundations - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Maison d'édition: HiTeX Press

Synopsis

"Prolog Programming Foundations""Prolog Programming Foundations" provides an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the principles, techniques, and advanced applications of Prolog, the premier logic programming language. The book begins by illuminating the theoretical foundations of logic programming, connecting predicate calculus and formal logic to Prolog’s unique computational model. Clear explanations of Prolog’s declarative and procedural semantics, unification, and resolution set the stage for mastering both its syntax and powerful problem-solving capabilities.Through carefully structured chapters, the text transitions from core language constructs to advanced data representations, control flow paradigms, and modular program design. Readers are guided through critical topics such as recursive data structures, meta-representation, optimization strategies, and testing, with an emphasis on writing reusable, maintainable, and efficient code. The exploration of metaprogramming techniques, constraint logic programming, and system integration empowers practitioners to extend Prolog’s reach into complex domains and modern software ecosystems.Bridging theory and real-world utility, "Prolog Programming Foundations" showcases the language’s enduring value in artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, and advanced computational reasoning. Through rich examples and case studies—spanning automated reasoning, natural language processing, and expert systems—the book equips readers with the skills needed to engineer sophisticated logic-based applications, optimize performance, and integrate Prolog seamlessly with contemporary technologies. This volume is an indispensable resource for students, professionals, and researchers seeking to unlock the full expressive power of logic programming.

Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses...

Melvin "Bird Man Mel" Toellner,...

As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
