Publisher's Synopsis
MICRO-PROLOG, designed as a logic programming language for microcomputers in order to put artificial intelligence techniques within the grasp of the micro user, whether at school, college, or in the home, is an easy language to learn, being quick to implement, powerful, and available on most micros. In order to enable readers to carry out projects of their own, the book provides an explanation of how MICRO-PROLOG works (rather than add-on front-end programs such as Simple or MITSI), together with a range of worked examples, eg games and puzzles, turtle graphics, data bases, and natural language processing.;The book also makes available to the owner of the reasonably-priced home microcomputer some of the classic applications of artificial intelligence (AI) eg Rivergame and Blocksworld and automatic language translation. It also demonstrates how the the power of modern high-level languages, eg PROLOG, is achieved through their techniques and applications. At the same time, the author also deals with a number of curent artificial intelligence and general computing issues.
