Aims

This course aims to provide insight in a number of different new programming languages and tools that emerged in the research field of Artificial Intelligence.
The aim is to give the students understanding of the specific characteristics and key underlying principles of different advanced languages and tools and of the usefulness of these concepts and principles to solve certain classes of problems in A.I. Students should understand the advantages and drawbacks of the languages, be able to compare their features and to situate these languages and related research aspects in the context of the application areas for which they were developed.
Students obtain basic programming skills and are able to write  programs to solve typical problems.

Previous knowledge

The students should be familiar with the basics of Artificial Intelligence and they need to have a good knowledge of an object oriented programming language  as well as a declarative programming language (Prolog).
