Computing | Backward chaining An algorithm for proving a goal by recursively braking it down into sub-goals and trying to prove these until facts are reached. Facts are goals with no sub-goals which are therefore always true. Backward training is the program execution mechanism used by most logic programming language like Prolog. Opposite: forward chaining. (1997-07-14). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing. |
