"Overall, I am impressed with the depth of the discussion and the clearly well-produced book. The authors have argued successfully for the power and versatility of the fundamental ideas underlying Prolog." Sara Kalvala, Computing Reviews
Formal systems that describe computations over syntactic structures occur frequently in computer science. First, a proof-theoretic framework that supports a general view of logic programming is identified. Three broad topics are covered in pursuit of this goal. However, these systems often embody variable binding, a notion that must be treated carefully at a computational level. Finally, a methodology for programming with specifications is exposed by showing how several computations over formal objects such as logical formulas, functional programs, and -terms and -calculus expressions can be encoded in Prolog.. Logic programming provides a natural framework for encoding and animating such systems. This book aims to show that a programming language based on a simply typed version
Great for students and researchers This book presents the theory and practice of the Lambda Prologlanguage. Practically speaking, Lambda Prolog allows one to conciselyspecify the rules of a logic or language and then animate those rulesand experiment with the resulting system. The power of Lambda Prologcomes from using higher-order terms and higher-order rules, thusavoiding the overhead of issues like name binding and scoping whichtypically plague implementations.This book builds up the ideas behind Lambda Prolog progressivelystarting with traditional Prolog (presented as a logic) and thenadding in more powerful features. By the end, readers are able
