A New Execution Model for the logic of hereditary Harrop formulas

Logic in Computer Science 2015-07-08 v1

Abstract

The class of first-order Hereditary Harrop formulas (fohhfohh) is a well-established extension of first-order Horn clauses. Its operational semantics is based on intuitionistic provability. We propose another operational semantics for fohhfohh which is based on game semantics. This new semantics has several interesting aspects: in particular, it gives a logical status to the readread predicate in Prolog.
