Synopsis

The Handbook of Logic in Computer Science is a six-volume, internationally authored work which offers a comprehensive treatment of the application of logic to theoretical computer science. Each volume is comprised of an average of five 100-page monographs and presents an in-depth overview of one of the field's major topics. Current volume topics include mathematical and computational structures; forthcoming volumes will cover semantic structures, semantic modelling, theoretical methods in specification and verification, and logical methods in computer science. The result of five years of cooperative effort by some of the field's most eminent scholars, this series will undoubtedly be the standard reference work in logic and theoretical computer science for years to come.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

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.
