Erasmus Mundus Program in Computational Logic
About
Computational Logic is a wide interdisciplinary field having its theoretical and practical roots in mathematics, computer science, logic, and artificial intelligence. Its subfields include-Mathematical logic
-Logic programming
-Deduction systems
-Knowledge representation
-Artificial intelligence
-Methods of formal specification and verification
-Inference techniques
-Syntax-directed semantics
-The relationship between theoretical computer science and logic.
Indeed, the wideness of the scope of computational logic anchors in the power and generality of logic based reasoning across the spectrum of scientific disciplines, and in its practical use in the form of computer supported automated tools. As a consequence, it has its applications in computer science itself, mathematics, the engineering sciences, humanities and social sciences including law, as well as in the natural sciences and in interdisciplinary fields like cognitive science.
