Abstract
Futo, Gergely and Szeredi have put forward a very interesting approach to the first problem situation of this conference, that of remote space vehicle control. The methodology they propose is based on a computer-based problem-solving system, Prolog, that tests assertions against a database and it is noteworthy that it is also applicable to the other two problem situations. The authors presumably chose the first situation as their example because it involves a classical dynamical system which, at first sight, is an unlikely candidate for logic simulation, but where their extensions through temporal primitives in T-Prolog (Futo & Szeredi 1981) are shown to full advantage.
