Abstract
The Tarski algebra of relations offers a bridge between logic programming and algorithmic programming because it captures the semantics of both brands of programming. In this article we discuss the application to logic programming of heuristics designed to develop algorithmic programs. Not only did these heuristics prove applicable to logic programs, they proved in fact to be more easily applicable to logic programs than to algorithmic programs in the following sense: some steps of the program construction process, which are carried out by hand in the construction of an algorithmic program, are automated in logic programming. This automation is made possible by the ability of logic programming to represent relations and operations on relations.
