Prolog is a general purpose logic programming language associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics.

As a general purpose language, Prolog also provides various built-in predicates to perform routine activities like input / output, using graphics and otherwise communicating with the operating system.

The Prolog subset of Poplog is implemented using the extendable incremental compiler of POP-11, the core language of Poplog, which is a general purpose Lisp-like language with a more conventional syntax.

Constraint programming originated from a formalization of equalities of terms in Prolog II, leading to a general framework for embedding constraints into a logic programming language.

The purpose of compiling Prolog code to the more low-level WAM code is to make subsequent interpretation of the Prolog program more efficient.

However Prolog is not particularly user friendly and is an order of logic away from human logic.

This is the case of the Mycin and Dendral expert systems, and of, for example, fuzzy logic, predicate logic ( Prolog ), symbolic logic and mathematical logic.

Prolog developed in 1972, but popularized much later, represents propositions and basic logic, and can derive conclusions from known premises.

Kernel Language 0 ( KL0 ) is a sequential logic programming language based on Prolog, used in the ICOT Fifth generation computer project.

Prolog gave rise to the programming languages ALF, Fril, Gödel, Mercury, Oz, Ciao, Visual Prolog, XSB, and λProlog, as well as a variety of concurrent logic programming languages ( see Shapiro ( 1989 ) for a survey ), constraint logic programming languages and datalog.

Mercury is based on the logic programming language Prolog.

* Prolog, designed in 1972, was the first logic programming language.

Prolog has its roots in first-order logic, a formal logic, and unlike many other programming languages, Prolog is declarative: the program logic is expressed in terms of relations, represented as facts and rules.

Prolog was one of the first logic programming languages, and remains the most popular among such languages today, with many free and commercial implementations available.

In Prolog, program logic is expressed in terms of relations, and a computation is initiated by running a query over these relations.

This makes Prolog ( and other logic programming languages ) particularly useful for database, symbolic mathematics, and language parsing applications.

SNOBOL4 pattern-matching uses a backtracking algorithm similar to that used in the logic programming language Prolog, which provides pattern-like constructs via DCGs.

; Poplog: Poplog implements a version of CL, with POP-11, and optionally Prolog, and Standard ML ( SML ), allowing mixed language programming.

The initial version of Erlang was implemented in Prolog and was influenced by the programming language PLEX used in earlier Ericsson exchanges.

Kowalski collaborated with Colmerauer in Marseille, who developed these ideas in the design and implementation of the programming language Prolog.

The programming language Prolog was developed in 1972 by Alain Colmerauer.

The use of Prolog as a practical programming language was given great momentum by the development of a compiler by David Warren in Edinburgh in 1977.

Experiments demonstrated that Edinburgh Prolog could compete with the processing speed of other symbolic programming languages such as Lisp.

** Logic programming languages such as Prolog.

* YAP – Yet Another Prolog, an implementation of the Prolog programming language

The French Prolog computer language, designed in 1972, marks a real advance over expert systems like Dendral or Mycin: it is a shell, that is to say a software structure ready to receive any expert system and to run it.

KL1 is an implementation of Flat GHC ( a subset of the Guarded Horn Clauses language by Kazunori Ueda ), making it a parallelised Prolog variant.

Mercury is a purely declarative language, unlike Prolog, since it lacks " extra-logical " Prolog statements such as " cut " and imperative I / O.

* A reference or model implementation, sometimes written in the language being specified ( e. g., Prolog or ANSI REXX ).

The language was first conceived by a group around Alain Colmerauer in Marseille, France, in the early 1970s and the first Prolog system was developed in 1972 by Colmerauer with Philippe Roussel.

as for example in Prolog.

Colmerauer, with Philippe Roussel, used this dual interpretation of clauses as the basis of Prolog, which was implemented in the summer and autumn of 1972.

The first Prolog program, also written in 1972 and implemented in Marseille, was a French question-answering system.

Edinburgh Prolog became the de facto standard and strongly influenced the definition of ISO standard Prolog.

It is related to both Prolog and Haskell.

Steele's purpose is to present a general defense of his political writing and a resume of the themes which had occupied him in the Englishman ; ;

One might argue that the ultimate purpose of literary scholarship is to correct this spontaneous provincialism that is likely to obscure the horizons of the general public, of the newspaper critic, and of the creative artist himself.

New machinery of coordination should not be our primary objective in the foreseeable future -- though perhaps the `` political general staff '' of Western leaders proposed by Sir Anthony Eden would serve a useful purpose.

These forty-seven special purpose governments have the authority to levy taxes, to borrow money, own property, sue and be sued, and in general to exercise normal corporate powers.

The purpose set forth at the beginning of this book was first to introduce the reader to a general background knowledge of the various types and capabilities of the forecasting methods already in use, so that he might then be in a position to evaluate for himself the validity of the rather astonishing empirical correlation that is to follow, and to appraise the forecast that its interpretation suggests for the future of farm prices over the years immediately ahead.

He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of " algorithm " and " computation " with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.

Police officers and court officials have a general power to use force for the purpose of performing an arrest or generally carrying out their official duties.

The main purpose of this work is to give a general account of Aristotelian cosmology and metaphysics, but it also has a polemical tone, and it may be directed at rival views within the Peripatetic school.

It was initially intended to be a next generation video game machine, but was redesigned as a general purpose computer after the North American video game crash of 1983.

Between the wars the British developed the Birch gun, a general purpose artillery piece on an armoured tracked chassis capable of maintaining formation with their current tanks.

Shortly after World War II, the first general purpose computers became available.

Modern CPUs are typically 2-operand or 3-operand machines — the additional operands specify which one of many general purpose registers ( also called " general purpose accumulators ") are used as the source and destination for calculations.

Some general purpose Bulletin Board Systems had special levels of access that were given to those who paid extra money, uploaded useful files or knew the SysOp personally.

The general meeting takes place yearly and with the purpose of approving accounts and appointing the auditors.

Most modern CPU designs are at least somewhat superscalar, and nearly all general purpose CPUs designed in the last decade are superscalar.

For several decades from the 1970s to early 2000s, the focus in designing high performance general purpose CPUs was largely on achieving high ILP through technologies such as pipelining, caches, superscalar execution, out-of-order execution, etc.

People who use modern general purpose computers ( as opposed to embedded systems, analog computers and supercomputers ) usually see three layers of software performing a variety of tasks: platform, application, and user software.

The body's purpose is to define the general " impetus " of the Union.

In reading their minute directions for divers degrees of abstinence on various days, it is impossible to avoid being struck by the conviction that the great object of the framers of these rules was the general purpose of ensuring an ascetic mode of life.

The basic concepts are moderately straightforward, but intractable to calculate ; and a single elegant algorithm or approach has been elusive for more general purpose renderers.

# hardware context switching does not save all the registers ( only general purpose registers, not floating point registers — although the TS bit is automatically turned on in the CR0 control register, resulting in a fault when executing floating point instructions and giving the OS the opportunity to save and restore the floating point state as needed ).

The general purpose of conventional warfare is to weaken or destroy the opponent's military force, thereby negating its ability to engage in conventional warfare.
