Programs designed from scratch often start with just a set of classes. Classes can be instantiated and so deliver the objects that are the carriers of information and function. In...
The computational potential of artificial living systems can be studied without knowing the algorithms that govern their behavior. Modeling single organisms by means of socalled c...
It is common to view programs as a combination of logic and control: the logic part de nes what the program must do, the control part how to do it. The Logic Programming paradigm ...
