The Practice of Prolog (Logic Programming) by Leon S. Sterling (PDF)

Description

Addressed to readers at different levels of programming expertise, The Practice of Prolog offers a departure from current books that focus on small programming examples requiring additional instruction in order to extend them to full programming projects. It shows how to design and organize moderate to large Prolog programs, providing a collection of eight programming projects, each with a particular application, and illustrating how a Prolog program was written to solve the application. These range from a simple learning program to designing a database for molecular biology to natural language generation from plans and stream data analysis.ContentsA Simple Learning Program, Richard O’Keefe • Designing a Prolog Database for Molecular Biology, Ewing Lusk, Robert Olson, Ross Overbeek, Steve Tuecke • Parallelizing a Pascal Compiler, Eran Gabber • PREDITOR: A Prolog-Based VLSI Editor, Peter B.

Editorial Reviews: Review ” The “raison d’ê tre” of this book is to encourage programmers to use Prolog in their day-to-day work. Personally, I find the language exciting to use. More pragmatically, I have seen how certain moderatelysized pieces of software are far easier to write in Prolog than in any other language with which I am familiar.” — Leon Sterling& quot; The raison d’& ecirc; tre of this book is to encourage programmers to use Prolog in their day-to-day work.
