In this paper, we develop a bottom-up fixed point semantics for pure Prolog programs extended with !/0 that allows to reconstruct the operational semantics of a particular goal. Our semantics captures both the order in which solutions are computed by SLD-resolution and their multiplicity.status: publishe
