[comp.lang.prolog] Module systems

spiro@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu (Spiro Michaylov) (03/14/90)

I'm looking for pointers to information about the conceptual, design and
practical aspects of module facilities in Prolog and other logic programming
languages. I need descriptions of module systems, discussions of their
relative merits, problems involved in their use or implementation, etc.
Also, I'm interested in the options that the standardization committees are 
looking at, and why.

I already have quite a lot of information on these aspects of Lambda Prolog,
but would still be interested in any criticisms of the system used there.

Please send mail to spiro@cs.cmu.edu, and I'll summarize.

Thanks in advance,

	Contextual Logic Programming introduces a natural modular concept
to Prolog. References can be found in the Proceedings of the Sixth
International
Conference on Logic Programming. 
	Description and semantics can be found in
'Contextual Logic Programming' [Monteiro & Porto] and implementations issues in
'The design of an abstract machine for efficient implementation of Contexts in
Logic programming' [Lamma, Mello & Natali].
