     + lo`gos speech, discourse: cf. F. trilogie.]
     A series of three dramas which, although each of them is in
     one sense complete, have a close mutual relation, and form
     one historical and poetical picture. Shakespeare's " Henry
     VI." is an example.


     [1913 Webster]

           in reality of three dramas, called together a trilogy,
           and performed consecutively in the course of one day.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  Trilogy
       
           A {strongly typed} {logic programming} language
          with numerical {constraint}-solving over the {natural
          numbers}, developed by Paul Voda 
          at {UBC} in 1988.  Trilogy is syntactically a blend of
          {Prolog}, {Lisp}, and {Pascal}.  It contains three types of
          {clauses}: {predicates} ({backtracking} but no assignable
          variables), procedures (if-then-else but no backtracking;
          assignable variables), and {subroutines} (like procedures, but
          with input and {system calls}; callable only from top level or
          from other subroutines).
       
          Development of Trilogy I stopped in 1991.  Trilogy II,
          developed by Paul Voda 1988-92, was a {declarative} general
          purpose programming language, used for teaching and to write
          {CL}.
