The development of intelligent software systems is an area that is becoming increasingly important in applied Computer Science. The goals of this course are to enable students: (a) to understand the basic concepts and techniques underlying classical Artificial Intelligence, namely problem solving, search, representation and reasoning, decision making and learning; and (b) to read and to write programs in the Prolog programming language to help understand these concepts better.
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1. Understand the basic concepts and techniques underlying classical Artificial Intelligence (AI), namely problem solving, search, representation and reasoning, decision making and learning; and
2. Read and write programs in the Prolog programming language to help understand these concepts better.
