Unit Description	This unit introduces students to the logical foundations of artificial intelligence, a mature area of computer science. This unit will allow students to gain generic problem solving skills, common to a wide-range of real-world problems. These include search, intelligent agents, informed search and exploration, constraint satisfaction problems, adversarial search and logic agents.
Materials	Text information will be published prior to commencement of the teaching period.
Disclaimer	Unit information may be subject to change prior to commencement of the teaching period.

Assessment

Assessment information will be published prior to commencement of the teaching period.

Learning Outcomes (LO)

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

apply artificial intelligence techniques, such as search heuristics, knowledge representation, planning and reasoning to real-world problems;
design and implement appropriate solutions for search problems, adversarial search problems and planning ones;
analyse problem specifications and derive appropriate solution techniques for them.
