• Client applications can make use of several Prolog servers [Java and .NET]
• Allows Java Applets to access Prolog server [Java]
• Platform independent (e.g. any platform where Prolog and Java or .NET exist) [Java and .NET]
• Simplifies the use of Prolog in Java application servers (Tomcat, etc) [Java]
• Prohibits unwanted use of Prolog server by host control (only specified hosts can access the Prolog server) [Java and .NET]
