ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS OF ILP

Several applications of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) are presente d. These belong to various areas of engineering, including mechanical, environmental, software, and dynamical systems engineering. The parti cular applications are finite element mesh design, biological classifi cation of river water quality, data reification, inducing program inva riants, learning qualitative models of dynamic systems, and learning c ontrol rules for dynamic systems. A number of other applications are b riefly mentioned. Finally, a discussion of the advantages and disadvan tages of ILP as compared to other approaches to machine learning is gi ven.
