Abstract :
LOGFLOW is a distributed Prolog system running on multi transputer machines and workstation clusters. It is based on the dataflow principle. The most recent database management systems prefer shared nothing architectures and dataflow execution mechanism because of their promising features. LOGFLOW is examined from the database point of view. Both relational and deductive DBMSs can be parallelized by the use of the parallel engine of LOGFLOW
