Transforming specifications of observable behaviour into programs
A methodology for deriving programs from specifications of observable
behaviour is described. The class of processes to which this methodology
is applicable includes those whose state changes are fully definable by labelled
transition systems, for example communicating processes without
internal state changes. A logic program representation of such labelled
transition systems is proposed, interpreters based on path searching techniques
are defined, and the use of partial evaluation techniques to derive
the executable programs is described

Delimited continuations for Prolog
Delimited continuations are a famous control primitive that originates in the functional programming world. It allows the programmer to suspend and capture the remaining part of a computation in order to resume it later. We put a new Prolog-compatible face on this primitive and specify its semantics by means of a meta-interpreter. Moreover, we establish the power of delimited continuations in Prolog with several example definitions of high-level language features. Finally, we show how to easily and effectively add delimited continuations support to the WAM
