<
language> Constraint Logic Programming (Real) A {constraint
logic programming} language with
real arithmetic
constraints developed by Joxan Jaffar <
joxan@watson.ibm.com>
of
IBM TJWRC and S. Michaylov of
Monash University in
1986.
The implementation contains a
byte-code compiler and a
built-in
constraint solver which deals with {linear
arithmetic} and contains a mechanism for delaying
nonlinear
constraints until they become linear. Since
CLP(R) is a
superset of
PROLOG, the system is also usable as a
general-purpose
logic programming language. There are also
powerful facilities for
meta programming with constraints.
Significant
CLP(R) applications have been published in diverse
areas such as molecular biology, finance and physical
modelling.
Version 1.2 for
Unix,
MS-DOS and
OS/2 is available from
the authors. It is free for academic and research purposes.
