Logic programming extensions of Horn clause logic

  • Ron Sigal

Abstract

Logic programming is now firmly established as an alternative programming paradigm, distinct and arguably superior to the still dominant imperative style of, for instance, the Algol family of languages. The concept of a logic programming language is not precisely defined, but it is generally understood to be characterized buy:

  1. a declarative nature;

  2. foundation in some well understood logical system, e.g., first order logic.
