Author Predicate dependency graph
Alexander Serebrenik

2004-11-29, 8:57 pm

Dear all,

I've been wondering who has introduced the notion of a predicate
dependency graph? The earliest mentioning of this structure I was able
to find so far is due to Kenneth Kunen (Signed Data Dependency in LP,
JLP 7(3):978-992, 1989; presumably based on a technical report with
same name from 1987). I'm also aware of a similar notion in Lutz
Pluemer's thesis (1989 as a thesis; 1990 as an LNCS volume).

Best regards,
Alexander

Is this the graph in which predicate p depends on q if p
calls q? If so, then it is a straightforward extension of the
notion of program dependency graph for imperative and functional
languages.
