Abstract

In practical Prolog applications, difficult and opaque uses of control primitives are often unavoidable. To relieve these difficulties, a pre1 iminary set of high-level control predicates has been developed. Two technical goals were achieved. The first was to cast control facilities found desirable in conventional languages into a logicprogramming form . The second was to provide convenient high-level structures for all the sorts of algorithmic routines a Prolog clause might sensibly perform. The avai labi II ty of such structures should make deliberately algorithmic use of Prolog r~spectable and may help win Prolog wider use.
