SICStus MT - A Multithreaded Execution Environment for SICStus Prolog

Jesper Eskilson, Mats Carlsson

Abstract: The development of intelligent software agents and other complex applications which continuously interact with their environments has been one of the reasons why explicit concurrency has become a necessity in a modern Prolog system today. Such applications need to perform several tasks which may be very different with respect to how they are implemented in Prolog. Performing these tasks simultaneously is very tedious without language support.
