"Prolog Programming Foundations" "Prolog Programming Foundations" provides an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the principles, techniques, and advanced applications of Prolog, the premier logic programming language. The book begins by illuminating the theoretical foundations of logic programming, connecting predicate calculus and formal logic to Prolog’s unique computational model. Clear explanations of Prolog’s declarative and procedural semantics, unification, and resolution set the stage for mastering both its syntax and powerful problem-solving capabilities. Through carefully structured chapters, the text transitions from core language constructs to advanced data representations, control flow paradigms, and modular program design. Readers are guided through critical topics such as recursive data structures, meta-representation, optimization strategies, and testing, with an emphasis on writing reusable, maintainable, and efficient code. The exploration of metaprogramming techniques, constraint logic programming, and system integration empowers practitioners to extend Prolog’s reach into complex domains and modern software ecosystems. Bridging theory and real-world utility, "Prolog Programming Foundations" showcases the language’s enduring value in artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, and advanced computational reasoning. Through rich examples and case studies—spanning automated reasoning, natural language processing, and expert systems—the book equips readers with the skills needed to engineer sophisticated logic-based applications, optimize performance, and integrate Prolog seamlessly with contemporary technologies. This volume is an indispensable resource for students, professionals, and researchers seeking to unlock the full expressive power of logic programming.

Logic programming synthesis and transformation are methods of deriving logic programs from their specifications and, where necessary, producing alternative but equivalent forms of a given program. The techniques involved in synthesis and transformation are extremely important as they allow the systematic construction of correct and efficient programs and have the potential to enhance current methods of software production. Transformation strategies are also being widely used in the field of logic program development. LOPSTR 91 was the first workshop to deal exclusively with both logic program synthesis and transformation and, as such, filled an obvious gap in the existing range of logic programming workshops. In attempting to cover the subject as comprehensively as possible, the workshop brought together researchers with an interest in all aspects of logic (including Horn Clause and first order logic) and all approaches to program synthesis and transformation. Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation provides a complete record of the workshop, with all the papers reproduced either in full or as extended abstracts. They cover a wide range of aspects, both practical and theoretical, including the use of mode input-output in program transformation, program specification and synthesis in constructive formal systems and a case study in formal program development in modular Prolog. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of current research and will be invaluable to researchers and postgraduate students who wish to enhance their understanding of logic programming techniques.

This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation, LOPSTR'96, held on board a ship sailing from Stockholm to Helsinki, in August 1996. The 17 revised full papers were carefully selected from a total of initially 27 submissions. The topics covered range over the areas of synthesis of programs from specifications, verification, transformation, specialization, and analysis of programs, and the use of program schemata in program development.

This book gives an account oC the mathematical Coundations oC logic programming. I have attempted to make the book selC-contained by including prooCs of almost all the results needed. The only prerequisites are some Camiliarity with a logic programming language, such as PROLOG, and a certain mathematical maturity. For example, the reader should be Camiliar with induction arguments and be comCortable manipulating logical expressions. Also the last chapter assumes some acquaintance with the elementary aspects of metric spaces, especially properties oC continuous mappings and compact spaces. Chapter 1 presents the declarative aspects of logic programming. This chapter contains the basic material Crom first order logic and fixpoint theory which will be required. The main concepts discussed here are those oC a logic program, model, correct answer substitution and fixpoint. Also the unification algorithm is discussed in some detail. Chapter 2 is concerned with the procedural semantics oC logic programs. The declarative concepts are implemented by means oC a specialized Corm oC resolution, called SLD-resolution. The main results of this chapter concern the soundness and completeness oC SLD-resolution and the independence oC the computation rule. We also discuss the implications of omitting the occur check from PROLOG implementations. Chapter 3 discusses negation. Current PROLOG systems implement a form of negation by means of the negation as failure rule. The main results of this chapter are the soundness and completeness oC the negation as failure rule.

This monograph provides an intensive course for graduate students in computer science, as well as others interested in extensions of logic programming, on the theoretical foundations of disjunctive logic programming. Disjunctive logic programming permits the description of indefinite or incomplete information through a disjunction of atoms in the head of a clause. The authors describe model theoretic semantics, proof theoretic semantics, and fix point semantics for disjunctive and normal disjunctive programs (a normal disjunctive program permits negated atoms in the body of a clause) and present theories of negation. They conclude with selected applications to knowledge databases. Jorge Lobo is Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle. Jack Minker is Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Institute for Advanced Computer Studies at the University of Maryland. Arcot Rajasekar is Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Kentucky. Contents: Introduction and Background. Definitions and Terminology. Declarative Semantics. Proof Theory. Negation. Weak Negation. Normal Logic Programs. Procedural Semantics: Normal Programs. Disjunctive Databases. Applications.

The volume is the outgrowth of a workshop with the same title held at MSRI in the week of November 13-17, 1989, and for those who did not get it, Logic from Computer Science is the converse of Logic in Computer Science, the full name of the highly successful annual LICS conferences. We meant to have a conference which would bring together the LICS commu nity with some of the more traditional "mathematical logicians" and where the emphasis would be on the flow of ideas from computer science to logic rather than the other way around. In a LICS talk, sometimes, the speaker presents a perfectly good theorem about (say) the A-calculus or finite model theory in terms of its potential applications rather than its (often more ob vious) intrinsic, foundational interest and intricate proof. This is not meant to be a criticism; the LICS meetings are, after all, organized by the IEEE Computer Society. We thought, for once, it would be fun to see what we would get if we asked the speakers to emphasize the relevance of their work for logic rather than computer science and to point out what is involved in the proofs. I think, mostly, it worked. In any case, the group of people represented as broad a selection of logicians as I have seen in recent years, and the quality of the talks was (in my view) exceptionally, unusually high. I learned a lot and (I think) others did too.
