Guarded Horn Clauses

Guarded Horn Clauses

   <language> (GHC) A parallel dialect of {Prolog} by K. Ueda in
   which each {clause} has a {guard}.  GHC is similar to
   {Parlog}.  When several clauses match a {goal}, their guards
   are evaluated in parallel and the first clause whose guard is
   found to be true is used and others are rejected.  It uses
   {committed-choice nondeterminism}.

   See also {FGHC}, {KL1}.
