SynopsisA multi-volume work covering all major areas of application of logic to theoretical computer science. The authors are chosen on an international basis and are leaders in the fields covered., Logic is now widely recognized to be one of the foundational disciplines of computing, and its applications reach almost every aspect of the subject, from software engineering and hardware to programming languages and artificial intelligence research. The Handbook of Logic in Computer Science is a six volume, internationally authored work which offers a comprehensive treatment of the application of the concepts 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 a major subject area. The first two volumes, available now, cover the background to the subject in terms of mathematical and computational structures. Future 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., This Handbook is a combination of authoritative exposition, comprehensive survey, and fundamental research exploring the underlying unifying themes in the various areas. The intended audience is graduate students and researchers in the areas of computing and logic, as well as other people interested in the subject. We assume as background some mathematical sophistication. Much of the material will also be of interest to logicians and mathematicians., The Handbook of Logic in Computer Science is a multi-volume work covering all major areas of application of logic to theoretical computer science. The Handbook comprises six volumes. Each volume contains five or six chapters, giving an in-depth overview of one of the major topics in the field. It is the result of many years of co-operative effort by some of the most eminent frontline researchers in the area. It will no doubt be the standard reference work in logic and theoretical computer science for years to come - essential reading for all those interested in theoretical computer science and logic. volumes cover the background to the subject in terms of mathematical and computational structures. The authors are chosen on an international basis and are leaders in the fields covered. The Handbook is a closely coordinated work which has been under development for the past five years.
