Official URL: http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.LO/0101022 AbstractIn logic programming, dynamic scheduling refers to a situation where the selection of the atom in each resolution (computation) step is determined at runtime, as opposed to a fixed selection rule such as the left-to-right one of Prolog. This has applications e.g. in parallel programming. A mechanism to control dynamic scheduling is provided in existing languages in the form of delay declarations. Input-consuming derivations were introduced to describe dynamic scheduling while abstracting from the technical details. We first formalise the relationship between delay declarations and input-consuming derivations, showing in many cases a one-to-one correspondence. Then, we define a model-theoretic semantics for input-consuming derivations of simply-moded programs. Finally, for this class of programs, we provide a necessary and sufficient criterion for termination.
