Logic and Semantics is one of the important Research areas in Computer Science, which deals with the mathematical, logical and statistical branches of computer science. The main focus of the Research in Logic and Semantics is to discover new ways of solving the mathematical problems in computer science and further the development. It includes using the laws of logic in solving these problems.
The research groups, which deal with Logic and Semantics deal with mathematical modeling and computational systems. Modeling is done on the basis of reasoning in order to solve the computational hindrances. This is where Logic plays a very important role.
The Applications of Logic and Semantics
The scope of logic extends to a number of subjects covering philosophy, psychology and computer science. It is the study of doctrines on the inferential basis and practical demonstration. Logic in computers is very important due to the fact that it is used in the computational systems.
It also has a very wide application in artificial intelligence. Boolean Logic and basic logical deductions are some of the tools used by the experts to research on this particular subject. The uses of Logic in Computer Science are the following:
- Combinatory Logic is one of the ways to investigate logic in computers
- Some of the foundational concepts in relation to computers are based on logic.
- Logic is also used for automated proving of theorems
- Logic is also important for the development of software by formation of languages and arriving at deductions

Semantics in computer science refers to the mathematical study of the programming languages and the computational models. For this purpose it has been classified into Denotational Semantics, Operational Semantics and Axiomatic Semantics.
Logic and Semantics deal with the formulation of mathematical models by studying the meanings of programming languages and other computational systems and researching into them.
