✦ Synopsis

Many object-oriented logic languages treat methods as distinct from predicates. Often this is because the language uses an owning object approach: there is one distinguished type of object which "owns" the method, and implementations are chosen based only on this single type. This contrasts with the multimethod approach where an appropriate implementation of a method is chosen based on the types of several arguments. In this paper, we present a language using the multimethod approach. This generalizes previous approaches to object-oriented logic programming, and leads to an elegant integration of objects and relations.

This paper proposes a real-time object recognition using the relational dependency among the objects that is represented by the graphical model. When we recognize the objects, it is effective to use the relational dependency in which several different objects co-exist each other. The relational depe

This paper illustrates a prototype system, called GPRS, supporting the Generalized Production Rules (GPR) data-base language. The GPR language integrates, in a unified framework, active rules, which allow the specification of event driven computations on data, and deductive rules, which can be used
