Extended Self-containing Prolog
(ESP) An {object-oriented} extension of {KL0} by
Chikayama. ESP has {backtracking}-based control,
{unification}-based parameter passing and {object-oriented}
calling. An {object} in ESP is an {axiom} set. A {class}
definition consists of nature definitions ({inheritance}),
slot definitions ({class variables}) and {clause} definitions.
ESP has {multiple inheritance} similar to {Flavors}. It has
been implemented for {ICOT}'s {PSI} Sequential Inference
machine.
See also {CESP}.
