Zusatztext 'a major work of scientific publishing ... a highly detailed! authoritative and illuminating exposition of the field! and at the same time a challenging source of ideas for further exploration ... we are much indebted to the editors! authors and all those others who have worked for so many years on this substantial project.'Times Higher Education Suplement Klappentext We are happy to present the first volumes of the 'Handbook of Logic in Computer Science.' Logic is now widely recognized to be one of the foundational disciplines of computing and has found applications in virtually all aspects of the subject, from software engineering and hardware to programming language and artificial intelligence. There is a growing need for an in depth survey of the application of logic in computer science and AI. The 'Handbook of Logic in Computer Science' and its companion, the 'Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Programming' have been created in response to this need. Zusammenfassung The Handbook of Logic in Computer Science is a multi-volume work covering all major areas of application of logic to theoretical computer science. The Handbook comprises six volumes. Each volume contains five or six chapters giving an in-depth overview of one of the major topics in the field. It is the result of many years of co-operative effort by some of the most eminent frontline researchers in the area. It will no doubt be the standard reference work in logic and theoretical computer science for years to come - essential reading for all those interested in theoretical computer science and logic.
