CLP(R) - Constraint Logic Programming (Real).
A constraint logic programming language with real
arithmetic constraints developed by Joxan Jaffar
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 superse 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.
