Prolog for Scientific Explanation

Rohner, Jean Christophe LU and Kjellerstrand, Håkan (2023) In Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics) 13900 LNAI. p.372-385
Abstract

Scientific explanations play an important role in most academic disciplines because they give us a fundamental understanding of why things happen or do not happen. In this paper we argue that Prolog has certain properties that make the language ideal for generating scientific explanations. We illustrate these properties in relation to a scientific theory.
