Probabilistic Logic Networks: A Comprehensive Framework for Uncertain Inference by Ben Goertzel
English | PDF | 2009 | 330 Pages | ISBN : 0387768718 | 30.3 MB
This book describes Probabilistic Logic Networks (PLN), a novel conceptual, mathematical and computational approach to uncertain inference. Going beyond prior probabilistic approaches to uncertain inference, PLN encompasses such ideas as induction, abduction, analogy, fuzziness and speculation, and reasoning about time and causality. The book provides an overview of PLN in the context of other approaches to uncertain inference. Topics addressed in the text include:

Memory-Based Logic Synthesis by Tsutomu Sasao
English | PDF | 2011 | 198 Pages | ISBN : 1441981039 | 4 MB
This book describes the synthesis of logic functions using memories. It is useful to design field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that contain both small-scale memories, called look-up tables (LUTs), and medium-scale memories, called embedded memories. This is a valuable reference for both FPGA system designers and CAD tool developers, concerned with logic synthesis for FPGAs. Anyone using logic gates to design logic circuits, you can benefit from the methods described in this book.

Automatic Logic Synthesis Techniques for Digital Systems by Martyn D. Edwards
English | PDF | 1992 | 197 Pages | ISBN : 0333555694 | 16 MB
Recent advances in microelectronics technology have led to the increasing utilisation of integrated circuit components in virtually all sectors of society. One particular component is the Application-Specific Integrated Circuit, ASIC, which is employed in such diverse products as washing machines, car engines and mainframe computers. The successful use of ASICs in products is due to the exploitation of computer-aided design tools, especially automatic synthesis tools, which reduce design time and cost. This book reviews the state-of-the-art in logic synthesis techniques, which have recently been developed for ASIC components.

Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning: 12th International Conference, LPNMR 2013, Corunna, Spain, September 15-19, 2013. Proceedings By Gerhard Brewka (auth.), Pedro Cabalar, Tran Cao Son (eds.)
2013 | 570 Pages | ISBN: 3642405630 | PDF | 8 MB
This volume contains the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning, LPNMR 2013, held in September 2013 in Corunna, Spain. The 34 revised full papers (22 technical papers, 9 application description, and 3 system descriptions) and 19 short papers (11 technical papers, 3 application descriptions, and 5 system descriptions) presented together with 2 invited talks, were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. Being a forum for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, nonmonotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation, the conference aims to facilitate interactions between those researchers and practitioners interested in the design and implementation of logic-based programming languages and database systems, and those who work in the area of knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning.

Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems: 14th International Workshop, CLIMA XIV, Corunna, Spain, September 16-18, 2013. Proceedings By Elena Cabrio, Sara Tonelli, Serena Villata (auth.), João Leite, Tran Cao Son, Paolo Torroni, Leon van der Torre, Stefan Woltran (eds.)
2013 | 391 Pages | ISBN: 3642406238 | PDF | 7 MB
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems, CLIMA XIV, held in Corunna, Spain, in September 2013. The 23 regular papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions and presented with four invited talks. The purpose of the CLIMA workshops is to provide a forum for discussing techniques, based on computational logic, for representing, programming and reasoning about agents and multi-agent systems in a formal way. This edition will feature two special sessions: Argumentation Technologies and Norms and Normative Multi-Agent Systems.

Towards a Design Flow for Reversible Logic by Robert Wille
English | PDF | 2010 | 192 Pages | ISBN : 9048195780 | 3.5 MB
The development of computing machines found great success in the last decades. But the ongoing miniaturization of integrated circuits will reach its limits in the near future. Shrinking transistor sizes and power dissipation are the major barriers in the development of smaller and more powerful circuits.

The Strange Logic of Random Graphs by Joel Spencer
English | PDF | 2001 | 167 Pages | ISBN : 3540416544 | 14.6 MB
The study of random graphs was begun by Paul Erdos and Alfred Renyi in the 1960s and now has a comprehensive literature. A compelling element has been the threshold function, a short range in which events rapidly move from almost certainly false to almost certainly true. This book now joins the study of random graphs (and other random discrete objects) with mathematical logic. The possible threshold phenomena are studied for all statements expressible in a given language. Often there is a zero-one law, that every statement holds with probability near zero or near one. The methodologies involve probability, discrete structures and logic, with an emphasis on discrete structures.

Mathematics, Computer Science and Logic - A Never Ending Story: The Bruno Buchberger Festschrift by Peter Paule
English | PDF(True) | 2013 | 120 Pages | ISBN : 3319009656 | 5.4 MB
This book presents four mathematical essays which explore the foundations of mathematics and related topics ranging from philosophy and logic to modern computer mathematics. While connected to the historical evolution of these concepts, the essays place strong emphasis on developments still to come.

Logic and Structure by Dirk Dalen
English | PDF | 2004 | 275 Pages | ISBN : 3540208798 | 4.2 MB
A book which efficiently presents the basics of propositional and predicate logic, van Dalen's popular textbook contains a complete treatment of elementary classical logic, using Gentzen's Natural Deduction. Propositional and predicate logic are treated in separate chapters in a leisured but precise way. Chapter Three presents the basic facts of model theory, e.g. compactness, Skolem-Löwenheim, elementary equivalence, non-standard models, quantifier elimination, and Skolem functions.

Handbook of Philosophical Logic: Volume 13 by D.M. Gabbay
English | PDF | 2005 | 371 Pages | ISBN : 1402035209 | 8.3 MB
The first edition of the Handbook of Philosophical Logic (four volumes) was published in the period 1983-1989 and has proven to be an invaluable reference work to both students and researchers in formal philosophy, language and logic.
