Ebook: Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation — Meta-Programming in Logic: 4th International Workshops, LOPSTR '94 and META '94 Pisa, Italy, June 20–21, 1994 Proceedings

This volume constitutes the combined proceedings of the 4th International Workshops on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR '94) and on Meta-Programming
(META '94), held jointly in Pisa, Italy in June 1994.
This book includes thoroughly revised versions of the best papers presented at both workshops. The main topics addressed by the META papers are language extensions in support of meta-logic, semantics of meta-logic, implementation of meta-logic features, performance of meta-logic, and several applicational aspects. The LOPSTR papers are devoted to unfolding/folding, partial deduction, proofs as programs, inductive logic programming, automated program verification, specification and programming methodologies.
