Hello: I am intending to do a research analysis of the Prolog Language, including an account of the history and rationale. Does anyone know of references or periodicals which describes the specific circumstances responsible for the establishment of the Prolog language. NOTE: Most general Programming Language texts do not cover Prolog, and I have not found Prolog Texts that adequately discuss this topic. Thanks in Advance, - Martin.

Try the following :
@article{cohen:view:cacm:88,
author = "J. Cohen",
title = "A View of the Origins and Development of {Prolog}",
journal = "CACM",
number = 1,
volume = 31,
year = 1988,
pages = "38--43"
}
@article{kowalski:early:cacm:88,
author = "R. Kowalski",
title = "The Early Years of Logic Programming",
journal = "CACM",
number = 1,
volume = 31,
year = 1988,
pages = "38--43"
} ^

You might be interested in the attached (I've left in only the Prolog-relevant parts; the full original is in comp.lang.sigplan, or it can be obtained from the publicity chair HOPL@CRL.DEC.COM; the conference has some general talks plus specific talks on the histories of Algol-68, Pascal, Concurrent Pascal, Ada, Lisp, Prolog, FORMAC, CLU, Smalltalk, Icon, Forth, C, C++ and others). > The Second ACM SIGPLAN > > HISTORY OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES CONFERENCE (HOPL-II) > > Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA > April 20-23, 1993 > > > General Chair: John A.N.

Communications of the ACM had a couple of papers on the history of Prolog in its January 1988 edition.
