Synopsis

This book introduces the parallel and distributed approach to logic programming, examining existing models of distributed logic programming, and proposing an alternative framework for distributed logic programming using extended Petri nets. The hardwired realization of the Petri net based framework is presented in detail, and principles of mapping of a logic program on to the proposed framework are outlined. Finally, the book explores the scope of Petri net models in designing next-generation deductive database machines.

From the Back Cover

The book Parallel and Distributed Logic Programming provides a clear introduction to parallel and distributed approach to logic programming. It examines the existing models of distributed logic programming, analyses the pros and cons of these models, and proposes an alternative framework for distributed logic programming using extended Petri nets. The hardwired realization of the Petri net based framework is presented in detail. Principles of mapping of a logic program on to the proposed framework are also outlined. Finally, the book attempts to explore the scope of Petri net models in designing deductive database machines of the next generation.
