recognized in AI that it is important to treat the representation of this information, and the reasoning that goes along with it, as a separate task, with its own research problems. The evolution of expert systems illustrates the point. The earliest expert systems, such as MYCIN (a program that reasons about bacterial infections, see Buchanan & Shortliffe 1984), were based entirely on large systems of procedural rules, with no separate representation of the background knowledgefor instance, the taxonomy of the infectious organisms about which the system reasoned was not represented. Later generation expert systems show a greater modularity in their design. A separate knowledge representation component is useful for software engineering purposesit is much better to have a single representation of a general fact that can have many different uses, since this makes the system easier to develop and to modify. And this design turns out to be essential in enabling these systems to deliver explanations as well as mere conclusions.[5]
4. Studies of large-scale applications, including a. Cognitive robotics b. Merging, updating, and correcting knowledge bases These topics hardly overlap at all with the contents of the Journal of Symbolic Logic, the principal research archive for mathematical logic. But there is substantial overlap in theoretical emphasis with The Journal of Philosophical Logic, where topics such as tense logic, epistemic logic, logical approaches to practical reasoning, belief change, and vagueness account for a large percentage of the contributions. Very few JPL publications, however, deal with complexity theory or with potential applications to automated reasoning.
entirely new logical theories that I believe will prove to be as important for philosophy as the fundamental developments of the late nineteenth century proved to be. The emergence of separate mathematical and philosophical subspecialties within logic was not an entirely healthy thing for the field. The process of making mathematical logic rigorous and of demonstrating the usefulness of the techniques in pursuing mathematical ends that was pursued so successfully in the first half of the twentieth century represents a coherent refinement of logical methodology. All logicians should be pleased and proud that logic is now an area with a body of results and problems that is as substantial and challenging as those associated with most areas of mathematics. But these methodological advances were gained at the expense of coverage. In the final analysis, logic deals with reasoningand relatively little of the reasoning we do is mathematical, while almost all of the mathematical reasoning that nonmathematicians do is mere calculation. To have both rigor and scope, logic needs to keep its mathematical and its philosophical side united in a single discipline. In recent years, neither the mathematical nor the philosophical professionsand this is especially true in the United Stateshave done a great deal to promote this unity. But the needs of Computer Science, provide strong unifying motives. The professional standards for logical research in Computer Science certainly require rigor, but the field also puts its practitioners into contact with reasoning domains that are not strictly mathematical, and creates needs for innovative logical theorizing. The most innovative and ambitious area of Computer Science, in terms of its coverage of reasoning, and the one that is closest in spirit to philosophical logic, is AI. This article will attempt to provide an introduction, for outsiders who are familiar with logic, to the aspects of AI that are closest to the philosophical logic tradition. This area of logic deserves, and urgently needs, to be studied by historians. But I am not a historian, and this entry does not pretend to be a history.
