Abstract:
To date Logic Programming has not made any impact on Software
Engineering. As Software Engineering moves on from objects to
components, will Logic Programming be simply forgotten forever? In this
position paper, I will argue that the answer could be and should be, perhaps
surprisingly, negative.
