Logic Programming Languages: Constraints, Functions, and Objects

by Krzysztof R. Apt (Editor), J. W. de Bakker (Editor), J. M. Rutten (Editor)

Overview

This collection of current research on logic programming languages presents results from a three-year, ESPRIT-funded effort to explore the integration of the foundational issues of functional, logic, and object-oriented programming. It offers valuable insights into the fast-developing extensions of logic programming with functions, constraints, concurrency, and objects. Chapters are grouped according to the unifying themes of functional programming, constraint, logic programming, and object-oriented programming.

Editorial Reviews

The articles came out of a project "Integration," whose purpose was to study various ways of amalgamating logic, functional and object oriented programming. Papers discuss the Prolog based approach to the implementation of narrowing, logic programs with external procedures, semantics of equational logic programming as an instance of CLP, a paradigm for asynchronous communication, a language for contextual logic programming, and an introduction to L&O.
