Guarded Horn Clauses (GHC) A parallel dialect of {Prolog} by K. Ueda in which each {clause} has a {guard}. GHC is similar to {Parlog}. When several clauses match a {goal}, their guards are evaluated in parallel and the first clause whose guard is found to be true is used and others are rejected. It uses {committed-choice nondeterminism}. See also {FGHC}, {KL1}. (1995-05-09)
