5. I think language X is better than Prolog. What do you think?
These debates rarely result in any productive discussion.
To some extent, one's favourite language is based on irrational
ideology.
However, many people now agree that different languages are
good for different things. Prolog seems to be good for problems
in which logic is intimately involved, or whose solutions have a
succinct logical characterization. Like other interactive,
symbolic languages, Prolog is also good for rapid prototyping.
Also, please note that there are many different "Prologs"
and other logic programming languages available, all with
different capabilities.
* * *
6. My Prolog prof assigned me this problem. Can you help
me with it?
If your instructor assigned it to you, he or she probably
wanted you to do it yourself. If it's an introductory Prolog
course, your question might be elementary to most readers, so it
might be a waste of network resources to ask it. Please ask
your instructor, a friend, a teaching assistant, or a local
newsgroup for help first.
That being said, there are comp.lang.prolog readers who
would be glad to help people making a legitimate attempt to
learn Prolog.
* * *
7. Can you suggest some books on Prolog?
The Prolog Resource Guide (see above, question 3) contains
a listing of Prolog books. It is maintained by Mark Kantrowitz
(Mark.Kantrowitz@GLINDA.OZ.CS.CMU.EDU), and posted periodically
on comp.lang.prolog.
Here are some of the most popular books on Prolog.
_Programming in Prolog_. William F. Clocksin and Christopher S.
Mellish. Springer-Verlag, 1987. (Introductory.)
_The Art of Prolog: Advanced Programming Techniques_. Leon
Sterling and Ehud Shapiro. MIT Press, 1986. (Advanced.)
_The Craft of Prolog_. Richard A. O'Keefe. MIT Press, 1990.
(Advanced.)
_Foundations of Logic Programming_. John Lloyd.
Springer-Verlag, 1988 (2nd ed). (Logic programming theory.)

Subject: [0] Introduction
This guide lists Prolog resources: archives, newsgroups, books,
magazines, compilers, interpreters and anything else you can think of
which has to do with the proliferation of Prolog. Also included is a
list of suppliers of products and a list of publishers. As Prolog has
a strong historical tradition in Europe, we've tried to ensure that
the information is relevant to all readers, both European and North American.
This guide is posted regularly to comp.lang.prolog. It may also be
obtained by anonymous ftp from CMU:
To obtain the file from CMU, connect by anonymous ftp to any CMU CS
machine (e.g., ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173]), using username
"anonymous" and password "name@host". The file prolog-resource-guide.txt
is located in the directory
/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mkant/Public/AI/
[Note: You must cd to this directory in one atomic operation, as
some of the superior directories on the path are protected from
access by anonymous ftp.] If your site runs the Andrew File System,
you can just cp the file directly without bothering with FTP.
Disclaimer:
We have taken great care in making the information in this document as
accurate as possible. However we are not responsible for any problems
which might occur from using information supplied in this guide.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: [1] Sources of information about Prolog
The newsgroups comp.lang.prolog and (to a lesser extent) comp.ai are a
source of information and discussion about Prolog.
A "Frequently Asked Questions" posting is posted to comp.lang.prolog
twice a month by Jamie Andrews <jamie@cs.sfu.ca>. The Prolog FAQ and this
Prolog Resource Guide are intended to complement one another.
The draft ISO standard for Prolog is available by anonymous ftp from
aisun1.ai.uga.edu in the directory ai.prolog.standard.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: [2] Public Domain or Free Prolog Implementations
The following list of free Prolog implementations excludes those listed
in the comp.lang.lisp FAQ (i.e., Prolog interpreters written in Lisp).
Note that commercial prolog implementations are often more robust and
better supported than public domain and free prolog implementations.
A.D.A. Public Domain Prolog:
aisun1.ai.uga.edu:ai.prolog/adapdpro.zip
A rather slow implementation of Prolog for MS-DOS systems, originally
a product of Automata Design Associates (now defunct), 1570
Arran Way, Dresker, PA 19025, 215-335-5400.
ALF:
ALF (Algebraic Logic Functional programming language) is a
language which combines functional and logic programming techniques.
The foundation of ALF is Horn clause logic with equality which
consists of predicates and Horn clauses for logic programming, and
functions and equations for functional programming. The abstract
machine is based on the Warren Abstract Machine (WAM) with several
extensions to implement narrowing and rewriting. In the current
implementation programs of this abstract machine are executed by an
emulator written in C. It is available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.germany.eu.net (aka simpson.germany.eu.net) in the directory
/pub/programming/languages/LogicFunctional as the files alf_*.zoo
(Documentation, C sources for the emulator, the preprocessor and the
compiler). For further information, contact Rudolf Opalla
<opalla@julien.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>.
BinProlog:
clement.info.umoncton.ca:BinProlog/binpro.1.39.tar.Z [139.103.16.2]
The file papers.tar.Z contains papers related to the implementation.
BinProlog is free for research and other non-profit purposes. Version
1.39 runs on Sparc, Sun3, NeXT, and 386/486. The compiler makes 215
KLIPS on a Sparc 2 (101 KLIPS on a NeXT) and still uses a very small
(41K) emulator. Comments and bug reports should be sent to
binprolog@info.umoncton.ca.
CLP(R):
CLP(R) is a constraint logic programming language with real-arithmetic
constraints. The implementation contains 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) subsumes
PROLOG, the system is also usable as a general-purpose logic programming
language. It icnludes facilities for meta-programming with constraints.
The system consists of a compiler, byte-code emulator, and constraint
solver. CLP(R) is written entirely in C and runs on Suns, Vaxen,
MIPS-based machines (Decstations, Silicon Graphics), IBM RS6000s and
PS2s. Includes MS-DOS support. It is available free from IBM for
academic and research purposes only. For more information, write
to Joxan Jaffar, H1-D48, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center,
P.O. Box 704, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, or send email to
joxan@watson.ibm.com or joxan@yktvmh.bitnet.
Common ESP:
Common ESP is an object-oriented system by the AI Language Research
Institute. The binary is free for R & D use only -- send 1/4in CMT
Sun3 and Sun4 (Sparc) with Sun OS R4.0.3, R4.1 or R4.1.1. For more
information, write to AI Language Research Institute Ltd, Yoshitoku
Bldg, Shiba 3-15-14, Minato-Ku, Tokyo 105, Japan, fax +81 3 3456 4418,
or send email to k-hata@air.co.jp.
cu-Prolog:
cu-Prolog is an experimental constraint logic programming language
available free from Japan's Institute for New Generation Computer
Technology (ICOT). Unlike most conventional CLP systems, cu-Prolog
allows user-defined predicates as constraints and is suitable for
implementing a natural language processing system based on the
unification-based grammar. For example, the cu-Prolog developers
implemented a JPSG (Japanese Phrase Structure Grammar) parser in
cu-Prolog with the JPSG Working Group (the chairman is Prof. GUNJI,
Takao of Osaka University) at ICOT. cu-Prolog is a complete
implementation of Constraint Unification (cu), hence the name.
cu-Prolog is implemented in C for BSD UNIX 4.2/3. Professor Sirai of
Chukyo-University has also implemented cu-Prolog for the Apple
Macintosh and DJ's GPP (80386/486 MS-DOS machine with the DOS
extender). cu-Prolog is available free by anonymous ftp from
ftp.icot.or.jp. For further information, send email to ifs@icot.or.jp,
or write to ICOT Free Software Desk, Institute for New Generation
Computer Technology, 21st Floor, Mita Kokusai Bldg., 4-28, Mita
1-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108, Japan, fax +81-3-3456-1618.
ESL Prolog-2 (PD Version):
aisun1.ai.uga.edu:ai.prolog/eslpdpro.zip
A prolog for MS-DOS systems with good performance. It deviates
slightly from Edinburgh standard (strings "like this" are not lists
of ASCII codes), but you can add a declaration that makes it fully
Edinburgh-compatible. It is a more limited version of the interpreter
from the Commercial Version (see [3] below).
IC Prolog:
doc.ic.ac.uk:/pub/languages/icprolog/pd-ICP-<VERSION>.tar.Z
src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/computing/programming/languages/prolog/icprolog/.
Runs on Sun3, Sun4. There is MacProlog source in a further subdirectory.
Produced by Imperial College, IC Prolog includes multi-threading,
parlog, TCP primitives, communication primitives, and "mailboxes", a
high level communication system. Includes the preprocessor for the
prolog language extension L&O from the book "Logic & Objects".
See also Yannis Cosmadopoulos and Damian Chu, "IC Prolog ][: a
Language for Implementing Multi-Agent Systems", in Tutorial and
Workshop on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems, September 23-25,
1992, Keele University. A copy of this paper may be found ing
laotzu.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.21.1] as /pub/icp-paper.ps.Z, or on
src.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.2.1] in the directory
/computing/programming/languages/prolog/icprolog/
Contact Damian Chu <dac@doc.ic.ac.uk> for questions about IC
Prolog, and contact Zacharias Bobolakis <zb@doc.ic.ac.uk> for
information about L&O.
Lolli:
Lolli is an interpreter for logic programming based on linear logic
principles. Lolli, named for the linear logic implication operator
"-o" called lollipop, is a full implementation of the language
described in the paper "Logic Programming in a Fragment of
Intuitionistic Linear Logic" (Josh Hodas & Dale Miller, to appear in
Information and Computation), though it differs a bit in syntax, and
has several built-in extra-logical predicates and operators. To
retrieve a copy of the Lolli system, ftp (anonymously) to
ftp.cis.upenn.edu and retrieve the file pub/Lolli/Lolli-07.tar.Z. This
distribution includes full ML source, along with a Makefile, as well
as several background papers and a collection of example programs. For
those who do not have SML-NJ at their site, the authors hope to
provide pre-built binaries for a variety of architectures. These
binaries can be found on ftp.cis.upenn.edu in the directory
pub/Lolli/binaries. At present Sparc and NeXT binaries are available.
If you compile lolli on a new architecture, please contact Josh Hodas
at <hodas@saul.cis.upenn.edu> so that he can make your binary
available.
