Abstract Comparative metric semantics for commit in or-parallel logic programming E. Todoran, J.I. den Hartog and E.P. de Vink For the control flow kernel of or-parallel Prolog with commit an operational and a denotational model are constructed and related using techniques from metric semantics. By maintaining explicit scope information a compositinal handling of the commit for the denotational model is established. By application of an abstraction function, which deletes this extra information, the operational semantics is recovered.
