Prof. Kefalas publishes new book on Logic programming

Prof. Petros Kefalas

Congratulations to Professor Petros Kefalas, Vice Principal of the International Faculty, on his recently published new book entitled ‘Logic Programming Techniques’. The book’s co-authors are Mr. I. Sakellariou, Mr N. Vassileiadis, and Mr. P. Stamatis.

The book, published by the Hellenic Academic Libraries Link, is an electronic textbook accessible to all students. It is in Greek since it was funded by an EU programme aiming to enhance electronic libraries for Greek Universities. Logic Programming is one of the most interesting and challenging schools of computer programming. It differs from the norm! It makes you think out of the instructional box. It is applied in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Understanding and Semantic Web. 

“It has been many years now I teach Logic Programming. I am proud that after so almost a quarter of century, me and my good friends, colleagues at other HE institutions of Thessaloniki, have finally made it! It was a joined effort, a dream come true for all of us who loved the way Prolog represents and solves problems. Simplicity, soundness, othogonality, ..., anything one could expect from Logic. After all "a programming language that does not affect your way of thinking is not worth knowing". Prolog indeed makes the difference!! said Prof. Kefalas.
