Abstract : [ABSTRACT] The paper presents a data-driven execution model, CHEM, for a temporal logic programming language, Chronolog. An intermediate virtual machine is proposed, which is granulated at clause argument level to exploit argument parallelism through unification. Context-parallelism, inherent in temporal logic programs, is exploited through dynamic tagging approach typically used in dataflow computers. The model is process-based and supports AND-, OR-parallelism in the highly distributed dataflow environment. Implementation techniques used to support these forms of parallelism are described. 1.,
