Abstract

We argue that in order to exploit both Independent And-and Or-parallelism in Prolog programs there is advantage in recomputing some of the independent goals, as opposed to all their solutions being reused. We present an abstract model, called the Composition-tree, for representing and-or parallelism in Prolog programs. The Composition-tree closely mirrors sequential Prolog execution by recomputing some independent goals rather than fully re-using them. We also outline two environment representation techniques for And-Or parallel execution offull Prolog based on the Composition-tree model abstraction. We argue that these techniques have advantages over earlier proposals for exploiting and-or parallelism in Prolog.
