The module contains propositional logic, first-order
logic, equational logic; deductive, abductive, and inductive
reasoning; non-monotonic reasoning; machine learning; logic-based
program development; natural-language processing and neural-symbolic
integration.

Logic and Constraint Programming |
Prof. Michael Thielscher |
| Contents and qualification objectives |
Contents of this module:
- Foundations of logic programming: unification, procedural
semantics, declarative semantics, soundness and completeness of
SLD-resolution, negation in logic programs, termination of
logic programs;
- Foundations of constraint programming: complete constraint
solvers, local consistency notions, incomplete constraint
solvers, constraint propagation, search;
- Practice of logic programming: the programming language Prolog,
recursion, special data structures and libraries, applications
of logic programs.
With this module students acquire a detailed understanding of the
theoretical foundations of logic and constraint programming. They
gain insight into a logic programming language, and they develop the
skills to systematically design logic programs, to develop constraint
solvers, and to model problems as constraint programs. They also
acquire knowledge of the application areas of logic and constraint
programming, and they gain insight into the execution of logic
programs. |

Advanced Logic |
Prof. Christel Baier |
| Contents and qualification objectives |
The module treats several variants of first-order and
second-order logic and modal logic, with an emphasis on
expressiveness, deductive systems and algorithmic and
complexity-theoretic aspects. The students will get a deep
understanding of the basic principles of logic calculi and earn the
ability of evaluating and applying logical frameworks in application
areas related to Computer Science. |

| Contents and qualification objectives |
The module requires the solution of a simple scientific
problem from the field of Computational Logic including an oral and
written presentation of the problem, the state of the art in the
underlying sub-field and the proposed solution as well as its
defense.
After completion of the module students are able to analyze a simple
scientific problem, to relate the problem to the state of the art in
the underlying sub-field, to solve the problem, to present the
problem, the state of the art as well as the solution in written
from as well as in an oral presentation, and to defend their claims.
