Gaining exptertise about relevant logics for knowledge representation.
Didactic procedure:lecture presentation using slides.
Knowledge representation is a part of AI dealing with suitable methods to make knowledge about a certain domain accessible to computers. The area of knowledge representation comprises techniques from different disciplines, in particular from logic and ontology.
In this course we deal with different logics for knowledge representation.
