Meta-Programming in Logic: Third International Workshop, META-92, Uppsala, Sweden, June 10-12, 1992. Proceedings

This volume contains lectures and papers delivered at Meta

92, the Third International Workshop on Metaprogramming in

Logic, held in Uppsala, Sweden,June 1992. The topics

covered include foundations of metaprogramming in logic,

proposals for metaprogramming languages, techniques for

knowledgerepresentation and belief systems, and program

transformation and analysis in logic.

Particular topics include belief revision systems,

intensionaldeduction, belief systems and metaprogramming,

principles of partial deduction, termination in logic

programs, semantics of the "vanilla" metainterpreter, a

complete resolution method for metaprogramming, semanticsof

"demo", hierarchical metalogics, the naming relation in

metalevel systems, modules, reflective agents, compiler

optimizations, metalogic and object-oriented facilities,

parallel logic languages, the use of metaprogramming for

legal reasoning, representing objects and inheritance,

transformation of normal programs, negation in automatically

generated logic programs, reordering of literals in

deductive databases, abstract interpretations, and

interarguments in constraint logic programs.
