Note publique d'information : Alan Robinson This set of essays pays tribute to Bob Kowalski on his 60th birthday,
an anniversary which gives his friends and colleagues an excuse to celebrate his career
as an original thinker, a charismatic communicator, and a forceful intellectual leader.
The logic programming community hereby and herein conveys its respect and thanks to
him for his pivotal role in creating and fostering the conceptual paradigm which is
its raison d’Œtre. The diversity of interests covered here reflects the variety of
Bob’s concerns. Read on. It is an intellectual feast. Before you begin, permit me
to send him a brief personal, but public, message: Bob, how right you were, and how
wrong I was. I should explain. When Bob arrived in Edinburgh in 1967 resolution was
as yet fairly new, having taken several years to become at all widely known. Research
groups to investigate various aspects of resolution sprang up at several institutions,
the one organized by Bernard Meltzer at Edinburgh University being among the first.
For the half-dozen years that Bob was a leading member of Bernard’s group, I was a
frequent visitor to it, and I saw a lot of him. We had many discussions about logic,
computation, and language.
