Spider vs. Prolog: computation control

Published:18 June 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

This is the second in a series of two reports presenting a comparison between the Control Network Programming language Spider and the logic programming language Prolog. Here, the focus is on juxtaposing the tools for programmer's control of the computation (inference) offered by the two languages.
