Course plan

Lectures

Approximately 24 hours.

Recommended for

Doctoral students with some background in logics (e.g. introductory course).

The course was last given

Spring 2003

Goals

The course goal is to provide the participants with a broad knowledge on modern logics and their applications in computer science, in particular in artificial intelligence, automated theorem proving and formal specification and verification of software. Issues on incomplete and inaccurate information are also discussed.

The participans will learn how to chose and/or develop a logic for a particular application domain together with proof systems, with the emphasis on automated verification
of satisfiability and validity of formulas.

Prerequisites

Introductory course in logic

Contents

- Proof and model theory: soundness and completeness, semantic tableaux, natural deduction, sequent calculus, resolution, Horn theories, logic programming. Not all proof methods will be covered, but selected methods will be covered in depth.
