Summary:Abstract: "This paper presents a unified framework for analyzing Prolog programs. The framework is based on a hybrid of the top-down and the bottom-up interpretations of Prolog programs. An execution-time property of Prolog goals can be analyzed when the goals are executed using an interpretation according to the property. Due to its hybrid character, the execution neither dives into infinite loop nor wastes time for irrelevant goals. In addition, the behaviour of the abstract hybrid interpreter is very close to the way human programmers usually analyze the property in their mind. Type inference, depth-abstracted term inference and mode inference are exemplified as the analysis of Prolog programs when different abstraction is employed."
