Abstract
Bousi~Prolog is an extension of the standard Prolog language with an operational semantics which is an adaptation of the SLD resolution principle where classical unification has been replaced by a fuzzy unification algorithm based on proximity relations defined on a syntactic domain. In this paper we present the structure and main features of a low level implementation for Bousi~Prolog. It consists in a compiler and an extension of the Warren Abstract Machine (WAM) able to incorporate fuzzy unification.
