In this paper an execution model for AND-parallel execution of logic programs is presented. This model is designed on the basis on the Lin-Kumar-Leung model and a Backward Execution algorithm proposed by Conery. The new algorithm is potentially more efficient than the Lin-Kumar-Leung model, and is also better than the Conery model because it is applicable to non-static data dependency graphs.
