[net.lang.prolog] Concurrent Prolog

faustus@ucbvax.UUCP (05/19/84)

I'd like to see some discussion of Concurrent Prolog, and what,
if any, work on it is being done by anybody other than the ICOT
people. I am especially interested in finding out about
Shapiro's Concurrent Prolog machine, the Bagel. Are there any
simulations of this machine running, and have any reasonably
descriptive papers on it been published? Thanks,

The University of Maryland has a concurrent problem-solving language
project up and running.  The project is called PRISM, and it runs
on the Maryland multi-processor ZMOB.  (Actually it only runs
on the simulated ZMOB at the moment because it does not yet
fit in the real ZMOB's memory...)  

Contact madhur@maryland for more information.

In Jan of this year I wrote a Department of Computer Science Report (8403)
entitled "Concurrent Prolog on a Multiprocessor: A critique of Concurrent
Prolog and Comparison with EPILOG", which may be of interest to prolog news-
group readers. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of funds the editor of our
DCS Reports series tells me that copies of the report will cost $Aust 3.50.
Enqiries about the report can be sent to me at: ..decvax!mulga!michaelw:elecvax
or, via snail mail to: Michael Wise, Department of Computer Science,
University of New South Wales, P.O. Box 1, Kensington, N.S.W. 2033, AUSTRALIA.
Cheques should be made out to School of Electrical Engineering, UNSW.

Yes Shapiros Bagel machine is running under LM-Prolog.

Here at Essex University we have our own version of Concurrent Prolog.
It makes use of both AND and OR parallelism and runs under a simulator
written in Lisp.

I'm looking for ConCurrent prolog.
I want its source.
Does anyone know where it is?
If know, would you send me a mail directly?

thanks.
