- IC Prolog ][ is a new prolog with the following added features
- 1) Multi threading - allows multiple prolog threads to be run concurrently.
- 2) Parlog - the system includes a parlog component. Prolog threads and parlog can
- comunicate through pipes. The parlog sub system is not included in the public
- domain version as there is a small fee for this.
- 3) Communication primitives - the system includes TCP primitives for inter process
- communication
- 4) Mailboxes - a high level communication system allowing multiple
- senders/receivers of data.

- There was a paper presented at Keele describing some features of the language
- which should hopefuly apear in the proceedings:
- ``I.C Prolog ][: a Language for Implementing Multi-Agent Systems'',
- Yannis Cosmadopoulos and Damian Chu
- in {\em Tutorial and Workshop on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems
- September 23-25, 1992, Keele University}
