Prolog \Pro"log\, n. & v. Prologue. [1913 Webster]

The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :
PROLOG \PRO"LOG\ (pr[=o]"l[o^]g), n. (Computers) A declarative higher-level programming language in which instructions are written not as explicit procedural data-manipulation commands, but as logical statements. The language has built-in resolution procedures for logical inference. [PJC]

The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :
higher programming language \higher programming language\ n. (Computers) A computer programming language with an instruction set allowing one instruction to code for several assembly language instructions. Note: The aggregation of several assembly-language instructions into one instruction allows much greater efficiency in writing computer programs. Most programs are now written in some higher programming language, such as BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, C, {C++}, PROLOG, or JAVA. [PJC]

WordNet (r) 2.0 :
Prolog n : a computer language designed in Europe to support natural language processing [syn: logic programing, {logic programming}]

The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) :
Prolog Programming in Logic or (French) Programmation en Logique. The first of the huge family of {logic programming} languages. Prolog was invented by Alain Colmerauer and Phillipe Roussel at the University of Aix-Marseille in 1971. It was first implemented 1972 in {ALGOL-W}. It was designed originally for {natural-language processing} but has become one of the most widely used languages for artificial intelligence. It is based on LUSH (or SLD) resolution {theorem proving} and unification. The first versions had no user-defined functions and no control structure other than the built-in {depth-first search} with backtracking. Early collaboration between Marseille and Robert Kowalski at University of Edinburgh continued until about 1975. Early implementations included {C-Prolog}, ESLPDPRO, Frolic, {LM-Prolog}, Open Prolog, {SB-Prolog}, {UPMAIL Tricia Prolog}. In 1998, the most common Prologs in use are Quintus Prolog, SICSTUS Prolog, LPA Prolog, {SWI Prolog}, AMZI Prolog, SNI Prolog. ISO draft standard at {Darmstadt, Germany (ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de/pub/programming/languages/prolog/standard/)}. or {UGA, USA (ftp://ai.uga.edu/ai.prolog.standard)}. See also negation by failure, {Kamin's interpreters}, Paradigms of AI Programming, Aditi. A Prolog interpreter in Scheme. {(ftp://cpsc.ucalgary.ca/pub/prolog1.1)}. {A Prolog package (ftp://cpsc.ucalgary.ca/pub/prolog1.1/prolog11.tar.Z)} from the University of Calgary features delayed goals and interval arithmetic. It requires Scheme with continuations. ["Programming in Prolog", W.F. Clocksin & C.S. Mellish, Springer, 1985]. (2001-04-01)

The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) :
Prolog++ (After {C++}) Prolog with {object-oriented} features added by Phil Vasey of Logic Programming Associates. Prolog++ is available for {MS-DOS} and the X Window System. It is distributed by AI International Ltd. in England and by Quintus.
