A distributed logic programming language and its implementation on transputer networks

José Alberto Cardoso E Cunha, Pedro A. Duarte Medeiros, Luı́s Moniz Pereira

Abstract

Currently there is a trend towards the development of programming tools and mechanisms for the support of heterogeneous multi-agent systems on paralell computer architectures. This paper presents a contribution to this area, as far as logic programming on a distributed execution environment is concerned. We discuss the main issues on the design and implementation of the logic programming language Delta Prolog [2] [3] [6] [7] [11], extending Prolog with constructs for concurrency and communication. The work described is one of the research components of a project on the development of mechanisms for parallel logic programming support on parallel architectures, currently running in this University [8].
