  • An Architecture for Making Object-Oriented Systems Available from Prolog
    An Architecture for Making Object-Oriented Systems Available from Prolog Jan Wielemaker and Anjo Anjewierden Social Science Informatics (SWI), University of Amsterdam, Roetersstraat 15, 1018 WB Amsterdam, The Netherlands, {jan,anjo}@swi.psy.uva.nl August 2, 2002 Abstract It is next to impossible to develop real-life applications in just pure Prolog. With XPCE [5] we realised a mechanism for integrating Prolog with an external object-oriented system that turns this OO system into a natural extension to Prolog. We describe the design and how it can be applied to other external OO systems. 1 Introduction A wealth of functionality is available in object-oriented systems and libraries. This paper addresses the issue of how such libraries can be made available in Prolog, in particular libraries for creating user interfaces. Almost any modern Prolog system can call routines in C and be called from C (or other impera- tive languages). Also, most systems provide ready-to-use libraries to handle network communication. These primitives are used to build bridges between Prolog and external libraries for (graphical) user- interfacing (GUIs), connecting to databases, embedding in (web-)servers, etc. Some, especially most GUI systems, are object-oriented (OO). The rest of this paper concentrates on GUIs, though the argu- ments apply to other systems too. GUIs consist of a large set of entities such as windows and controls that define a large number of operations. These operations often involve destructive state changes and the behaviour of GUI components normally involves handling spontaneous input in the form of events. OO techniques are very well suited to handle this complexity.

  • Prolog Programming a First Course
    Prolog Programming A First Course Paul Brna March 5, 2001 Abstract The course for which these notes are designed is intended for undergraduate students who have some programming experience and may even have written a few programs in Prolog. They are not assumed to have had any formal course in either propositional or predicate logic. At the end of the course, the students should have enough familiarity with Prolog to be able to pursue any undergraduate course which makes use of Prolog. This is a rather ambitious undertaking for a course of only twelve lectures so the lectures are supplemented with exercises and small practical projects wherever possible. The Prolog implementation used is SICStus Prolog which is closely mod- elled on Quintus Prolog (SICS is the Swedish Institute of Computer Science). The reference manual should also be available for consultation [SICStus, 1988]. °c Paul Brna 1988 Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Declarative vs Procedural Programming . 1 1.2 What Kind of Logic? . 1 1.3 A Warning . 2 1.4 A Request . 2 2 Knowledge Representation 3 2.1 Propositional Calculus . 3 2.2 First Order Predicate Calculus . 4 2.3 We Turn to Prolog ....................... 5 2.4 Prolog Constants . 7 2.5 Goals and Clauses . 8 2.6 Multiple Clauses . 8 2.7 Rules . 9 2.8 Semantics . 10 2.9 The Logical Variable . 11 2.10 Rules and Conjunctions . 12 2.11 Rules and Disjunctions . 13 2.12 Both Disjunctions and Conjunctions . 14 2.13 What You Should Be Able To Do . 15 3 Prolog’s Search Strategy 16 3.1 Queries and Disjunctions .
