Other Topics
State space search: A process used in the field of computer science, including artificial intelligence (AI), in which successive configurations or //states// of an instance are considered, with the goal of finding a //goal state// with a desired property.

Heuristic search: An AI search technique that employs heuristic for its moves. //Heuristic// is a rule of thumb that probably leads to a solution.

Knowledge representation (KR): An area of artificial intelligence research aimed at representing knowledge in symbols to facilitate inferencing from those knowledge elements, creating new elements of knowledge.

Expert systems: A computer designed to solve complex problems by reasoning about knowledge, like an expert, and not by following the procedure of a developer as is the case in conventional programming.

Automated Reasoning: An area of computer science dedicated to understand different aspects of reasoning.
