Summary:Abstract: "This paper gives four semantics for PARLOG: two operational semantics based on a transition system, a declarative semantics and a denotational semantics. One operational and the declarative semantics model the success set of a PARLOG program, that is, the set of computed answer substitutions corresponding to all successfully terminating computations. The other operational and the denotational semantics model also deadlock and infinite computations. For the declarative and the denotational semantics we extend standard notions like unification in order to cope with the synchronization mechanism of PARLOG. The basic mathematical structure for the declarative semantics is the set of finite streams of substitutions
In the denotational semantics we use tree-like structures that are labelled with streams of substitutions. We look at the relations between the different models: First we relate the two operational semantics and next we show the relation of the declarative and denotational semantics with their operational counterparts.
