Aims
The course is a coherent introduction in Artificial Intelligence area, including theoretical and practical approaches.
The identification of appropriate models and methods for solving real-life problems.
The use of methodologies, specification mechanisms and development environments for the development of computer applications.
The use of computer and mathematical models and tools to solve specific problems in the application field.
Students will deal with the two AI approaches: symbolic and conexionist and they will use AI applications and languages.
