Thinking on the Web: Berners-Lee, Godel and Turing

A book that deals with the development of complex logic on the web is unusual. The authors aim to provide a perspective “of the competing forces that are developing the future of complex logic on the Web.” They introduce the key players and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of their involvement.

Alesso and Smith believe that:

Thinking on the Web creates a vision of how solvable problems can be logically addressed on the Web to produce a semblance of machine intelligence.

The book is designed to stimulate the readers interest in many of the more sophisticated concepts found in artificial intelligence research and development. The aim, the authors say, is to present their material in both a readable and accessible manner.
