Abstract

His passing was a surprise, and we were all shocked and saddened by the news. To remember the deceased, this article reviews the great career and contributions of Professor Koichi Furukawa, focusing on his research activities on the foundation and application of logic programming. Professor Furukawa had both a deep understanding and broad impact on logic programming, and he was always gentle but persistent in articulating its value across a broad spectrum of computer science and artificial intelligence research. This article introduces his research along with its insightful and unique philosophical framework.
