backward chaining
(foldoc) | backward chaining
An algorithm for proving a goal by recursively
breaking 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.

backward combatability
(foldoc) | backward combatability
/bak'w*d k*m-bat'*-bil'*-tee/ (Play on "{backward
compatibility}") A property of hardware or software revisions
in which previous protocols, formats, layouts, etc. are
irrevocably discarded in favour of "new and improved"
protocols, formats and layouts, leaving the previous ones not
merely deprecated but actively defeated. (Too often, the old
and new versions cannot definitively be distinguished, such
that lingering instances of the previous ones yield crashes or
other infelicitous effects, as opposed to a simple "version
mismatch" message.) A backward compatible change, on the
other hand, allows old versions to coexist without crashes or
error messages, but too many major changes incorporating
elaborate backward compatibility processing can lead to
extreme software bloat.

backward compatible
backwards compatibility
backwards compatible
Able to share data or commands with older versions of
itself, or sometimes other older systems, particularly systems
it intends to supplant. Sometimes backward compatibility is
limited to being able to read old data but does not extend to
being able to write data in a format that can be read by old
versions.
For example, WordPerfect 6.0 can read WordPerfect 5.1 files,
so it is backward compatible. It can be said that Perl is
backward compatible with awk, because Perl was (among other
things) intended to replace awk, and can, with a converter,
run awk programs.
See also: backward combatability.
Compare: forward compatible.
