Abstract

During the past years, our research group has been working in the design and implementation of Logic Programming Systems. In previous work, we have produced systems to support sequential, parallel and distributed execution of Prolog; to support novel techniques and models, such as tabling, through the YapTab system, or the Extended Andorra Model (EAM), through the BEAM; and to support the combination of the above, such as parallel tabling. With the IMPACT project we want to combine the power of tabling with that of EAM in order to produce an execution model with advanced control strategies that guarantees termination, avoids looping, reduces the search space, and is less sensitive to goal ordering.
