In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...
