bases. Dr. Komorowski's articles have appeared in proceedings of the IXth POPL, the 1980 Logic Programming Workshop (Debrecen, Hungary), and the book "Logic Programming", edited by Clark and Taernlund. He acted as Program Chairman for the recent IEEE Prolog tutorial at Brandies University, is serving on the Program Committee of the 1984 Logic Programming Symposium (Atlantic City), and is a member of the Editorial Board of THE JOURNAL OF LOGIC PROGRAMMING. Prolog has been selected as the programming language of the Japanese Fifth Generation Computer Project. It is the first realization of logic programming ideas, and implements a theorem prover based on a design attributed to J.A. Robinson, which limits resolution to a Horn clause subset of assertions. A Prolog program is a collection of true statements in the form of RULES. A computation is a proof from these assertions. Numerous implementations of Prolog have elaborated Alain Colmerauer's original, including Dr. Komorowski's own Qlog, which operates in LISP environments. Dr. Komorowski will present an introduction to elementary logic programming concepts and an overview of more advanced topics, including metalevel inference, expert systems programming, databases, and natural language processing.
