CLP(R)

CLP(R)

(language)Constraint Logic Programming (Real) A constraint logic programming language with real arithmeticconstraints developed by Joxan Jaffar of IBM TJWRC and S. Michaylov of Monash University in1986.

The implementation contains a byte-code compiler and abuilt-in constraint solver which deals with linear arithmetic and contains a mechanism for delaying nonlinearconstraints until they become linear. Since CLP(R) is asuperset of PROLOG, the system is also usable as ageneral-purpose logic programming language. There are alsopowerful facilities for meta programming with constraints.

Significant CLP(R) applications have been published in diverseareas such as molecular biology, finance and physicalmodelling.

Version 1.2 for Unix, MS-DOS and OS/2 is available fromthe authors. It is free for academic and research purposes.
