Abstract

Qu-Prolog is an extension of Prolog that was initially designed as an implementation language for interactive theorem provers. It provides built-in support for quantifiers, substitutions and object variables. Recently, Qu-Prolog has been further extended to support multiple threads and high-level communication. The combination of these features makes it ideal as an implementation language for intelligent agents with advanced reasoning capabilities.
