Distributed Processing Of Logic Programs

Summary: Predicate decomposability enables parallel evaluation of logic programs with no inter-processor communication. Fully characterizes sirups (nonrecursive, linear, simple chain) decomposability: nonrecursive always decomposable; identifies which linear and chain cases work; provides two sufficient conditions.
