The aim of this paper is to present a set of extensions to the Prolog language in order to insert in it concepts typical of parallel, distributed object-oriented systems. A program is a collection of objects (P-Units) that represent chunks of knowledge expressed as separate Prolog programs. P-units interact by asking for the demonstration of goals conceived as requests for operations. P-units can perform operations in parallel. Policies of interaction between objects, the creation of parallel activities, inheritance and delegation mechanisms are not frozen in the basic interpreter, but can be explicitly expressed in particular P-units that act as meta-objects. This approach enhances both the flexibility and reusability of the resulting object-oriented system.
