Abstract
Binary logic programs can be obtained from ordinary logic programs by a binarizing transformation. In most cases, binary programs obtained by this way are less efficient than the original programs. Demoen [2] showed an interesting example of a logic program whose computational behavior was improved if it was transformed to a binary program and then specialized by partial deduction.The class of so called B-stratifiable logic programs is defined. It is shown that for every B-stratifiable logic program, binarization and subsequent partial deduction produce a binary program which usually has a better computational behavior than the original one. Both binarization and partial deduction can be automated.KeywordsLogic ProgramOriginal ProgramPredicate SymbolUnit ClausePartial EvaluatorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
