Minion is a solver for constraint satisfaction problems. Unlike constraint programming toolkits, which expect users to write programs in a traditional programming language like C++, Java or Prolog, Minion takes a text file which specifies the problem, and solves using only this. This makes using Minion much simpler, at the cost of much less ...
Prolog implementations usually omit the occurs check for reasons of efficiency, which can lead to circular data structures and looping. By not performing the occurs check, the worst case complexity of unifying a term with term is reduced in many cases from (() + ()) to (((), ())); in the particular, frequent case of variable-term unifications, runtime shrinks to ().
The following Comparison of Prolog implementations provides a reference for the relative feature sets and performance of different implementations of the Prolog computer programming language. A comprehensive discussion of the most significant Prolog systems is presented in an article published in the 50-years of Prolog anniversary issue of the ...
The first and next procedures are used by the backtracking algorithm to enumerate the children of a node c of the tree, that is, the candidates that differ from c by a single extension step. The call first(P,c) should yield the first child of c, in some order; and the call next(P,s) should return the next sibling of node s, in that order. Both ...
Arity/Prolog32 allows a developer to create and execute Prolog programs for Windows, which are also operable on Linux using WINE. The software includes a compiler and interpreter written in Prolog, C, Assembler. The interpreter provides debugging support, and can be invoked from compiled code for applications that require dynamically modifiable ...
Prolog code is reasonably easy to translate to WAM instructions, which can be more efficiently interpreted. Also, subsequent code improvements and compilations to native code are often easier to perform on the more low-level representation. In order to write efficient Prolog programs, a basic understanding of how the WAM works can be advantageous.
SWI-Prolog is a free implementation of the programming language Prolog, commonly used for teaching and semantic web applications. It has a rich set of features, libraries for constraint logic programming, multithreading, unit testing, GUI, interfacing to Java, ODBC and others, literate programming, a web server, SGML, RDF, RDFS, developer tools (including an IDE with a GUI debugger and GUI ...
The program complexity is the complexity of the decision problem when A and R are inputs and E is fixed. The combined complexity is the complexity of the decision problem when A, E, and R are inputs. With respect to data complexity, the decision problem for Datalog is P-complete (See Theorem 4.4 in [25]). P-completeness for data complexity ...
