Subject: [1-0] 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 and comp.object.logic.
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 files
prolog-resource-guide-1.text
prolog-resource-guide-2.text
are 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.
The FAQ postings are also archived in the periodic posting archive on
rtfm.mit.edu [18.70.0.224]. Look in the anonymous ftp directory
/pub/usenet/news.answers/ in the subdirectory prolog/. If you do not
have anonymous ftp access, you can access the archive by mail server
as well. Send an E-mail message to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
with "help" and "index" in the body on separate lines for more
information.
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: [1-1] Sources of Information about Prolog
The newsgroups comp.lang.prolog, comp.object.logic, 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
ai.uga.edu:/ai.prolog.standard [128.192.12.9].
----------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: [1-2] FTP Archives and Other Resources
The following are achives that contain Prolog-related material, such as
code, interpreters, articles, etc. Most of the archives are ftp sites.
They are listed by domain.name and [IP Address]. To access them and
download programs type at the prompt:
ftp <site name> (or IP address)
login: "anonymous",
password: your own return email address,
cd <directory>, ls to see files,
set binary,
get <filename> to transfer file to your system
stop with quit or exit
Deviations from this general scheme may occur but the above should
work in most cases.
Artificial Intelligence Programs:
ai.uga.edu [128.192.12.9]
Contains public domain Prologs, such as Open Prolog and ESL PD Prolog,
all programs from the book by Covington, Nute, and Vellino, (see
the section on Books below) and some technical reports with
accompanying code. Maintained by Michael Covington, the University
of Georgia, mcovingt@aisun1.ai.uga.edu.
ALE:
ALE (Attribute Logic Engine), a public domain system written in
Prolog, integrates phrase structure parsing and constraint logic
programming with typed feature structures as terms. Types are
arranged in an inheritance hierarchy and specified for the features
and value types for which they are appropriate. Grammars may also
interleave unification steps with logic program goal calls (as can be
done in DCGs), thus allowing parsing to be interleaved with other
system components. While ALE was developed to handle HPSG grammars,
it can also execute PATR-II grammars, DCG grammars, Prolog, Prolog-II,
and LOGIN programs, etc. Grammars and programs are specified with a
version of Rounds-Kasper Attribute Value Logic with macros and
variables. ALE supports lexical rules and empty categories for
grammars, using a bottom-up, breadth-first dynamic chart parser. ALE
supports last call optimization, negation by failure and cuts in
definite clauses, which may be used independently or integrated into
grammars. The system is available free for research purposes, from
Bob Carpenter <carp@lcl.cmu.edu>.
ALP-UK Library:
The best Prolog library currently is the one collected by the ALP-UK
group. It is available to members at 30 pounds sterling for a Sun
cartridge or 2 pounds/IBM DOS disk. (non-members maybe, how much?) It
contains MBs of Prolog systems (including SB Prolog), libraries
(including the Edinburgh library), benchmarks, grammars, theorem provers,
object and graphics systems etc. For more information, write to ALP-UK
Library, Sanjay Raina, Librarian, Dept. of Computer Science, University
of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK, call +44 0272 303030
x3304, or send email to raina@compsci.bristol.ac.uk.
CASLOG
CASLOG (Complexity Analysis System for LOGic) is an experimental
semi-automatic complexity analysis system for logic programs. It can
perform the worst-case analysis for complexity measures: argument size
complexity, number of solutions complexity, and time complexity.
CASLOG extends the techniques developed for analyzing imperative and
functional languages to deal with nondeterminism and generation of
multiple solutions via backtracking in logic languages. The analyses
for different complexity measures are implemented in a unified
framework and share several common features. First, the predicates in
a program are processed in an order generated by a bottom-up
topological sorting over the call graph of the program. Second, the
complexity function for a predicate is derived from the complexity
function of its clauses by using the information about the mutual
exclusion relationships between its clauses. Third, the complexity
function for a clause is inferred based on the data dependency
relationships between its literals. Fourth, the complexity functions
for recursive clauses are in the form of difference equations and are
transformed into closed form functions using difference equation
solving techniques. This unified framework can simplify proofs of
correctness and the implementation of the algorithms.
CASLOG is available by anonymous ftp from cs.arizona.edu:caslog/. This
is an alpha distribution, and includes CASLOG version 1.0, a
preliminary user manual, a paper on CASLOG, and a set of examples.
For more information, contact Nai-Wei Lin <naiwei@cs.arizona.edu>.
Constraint Programming Paper Archive:
Aarhus University, Denmark, has established an anonymous ftp archive
for papers on "Constraint Programming" at ftp.daimi.aau.dk:pub/CLP/.
For further information, contact Brian H. Mayoh <brian@daimi.aau.dk>.
Eden
Eden is a Poplog-based AI microworld developed by Simon Perkins,
Jocelyn Paine and Edmund Chattoe of the Oxford University Artificial
Intelligence Society. It is intended to serve as a testbed for
learning and planning programs. Programs written in Pop-11, Prolog,
Lisp, and ML control a "bug" that lives in a 2-dimensional world. Any
kind of algorithm may be used to control the bug, including genetic
algorithms, neural nets, and rule-based systems. Eden consists of a
grid of cells, each of which can contain objects such as keys, doors,
boulders and quicksand. Bug's objective is to find and eat a piece of
food which the simulator has placed somewhere within this grid. To do
this, Bug must negotiate its way towards the food while dealing
intelligently with obstacles. Eden's laws of physics allow Bug to take
one of several different actions when it encounters an object. The
simulator then works out the consequences of the chosen action on Bug
and on Eden, and displays these graphically in a Ved window. Bug's
perceptions are updated to reflect the new state of the world, and the
cycle repeats. Eden is available by anonymous ftp from the Imperial
College archive, src.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.2.1] in the directory
computing/programming/languages/prolog/pd-software (a shortcut is
packages/prolog-pd-software) as the file eden.tar.Z. Eden includes
PopBeast, a simple Prolog bug which can read and parse simple
commands, extract their meaning, plan how to satisfy these commands,
and then carry out the plans.
The Oxford University AI Society is running an international AI
competition for Eden bugs. Send your source code to Jocelyn Paine
<popx@vax.oxford.ac.uk> or Edmund Chattoe <econec@vax.oxford.ac.uk> by
May 1, 1993, if you'd like to enter.

Natural Language Processing in Prolog:
The Prolog and DCG programs from Pereira and Shieber's book, "Prolog
and Natural Language Analysis", are available by anonymous ftp from
das.harvard.edu:pub/shieber/pnla/. See the file README for the
conditions under which the material is distributed. If you retrieve
the files, please send an email message to the authors letting them
know how you plan to use them. For further information, write to
Fernando Pereira <pereira@research.att.com> or Stuart Shieber
<shieber@das.harvard.edu>.
Object-Oriented Program in Prolog:
OL(P), Object Layer for Prolog, is an object-oriented extension to
Prolog. It provides an object-oriented structuring and reuse
mechanism for Prolog in a manner that preserves performance and
semantics. The object-oriented layer is compiled into Prolog without
introducing any side-effects. OL(P) takes the view of objects as
collections of predicates (called methods). To Prolog, OL(P) 1.0 adds
objects with methods, data encapsulation, instances, and multiple
inheritance. Object methods can access Prolog predicates and vice
versa. The OL(P) incremental compiler translates OL(P) programs to
Prolog programs that don't need runtime interpretation (e.g., no
search is needed for inheritance). OL(P) 1.0 comes with prepared
installation for SICStus Prolog (on UNIX), documentation, simple
built-in project management, some libraries, and example programs. The
source is included, so you can port OL(P) to different platforms,
different Prolog systems, and different logic programming languages.
OL(P) is available by anonymous ftp from parcftp.xerox.com:/ftp/pub/ol/
[13.1.64.94]. Written by Markus P.J. Fromherz <fromherz@parc.xerox.com>.
Prolog Repository:
Established by Jocelyn Paine of Experimental Psychology, Oxford
University in 1987. The current catalogue (January 1991) contains
30 entries. For catalogue, queries and contributions contact POPX at:
popx%vax.ox.ac.uk@oxmail.ox.ac.uk (internet) or
popx@uk.ac.ox.vax (janet)
FTP access is available through the Imperial College archive at
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)
in the directory
computing/programming/languages/prolog/pd-software
with a short-cut link of:
packages/prolog-pd-software
To access it, cd to either of the above directories via
anonymous ftp. The file README gives a brief summary of the
contents of the directory and CATALOGUE gives a (long!)
description of each entry. Entries include the Logic Programming
Tutor from Paine's book, the DEC-10 public-domain library, the
Linger natural-language corrector, a simple object-oriented
add-on for Prolog, graph utilities, among other things.
Files in the archive are also available on MS-DOS floppies for a
nominal fee to cover the cost of floppies, postage, and packing.
Machine Learning Algorithms Implemented in Prolog:
In 1988 the Special Interest Group on Machine Learning of the German
Society for Computer Science (GI e.V.) decided to establish a library
of PROLOG implementations of Machine Learning algorithms. The library
includes - amongst others - PROLOG implementations of Winston's arch,
Becker's AQ-PROLOG, Fisher's COBWEB, Brazdil's generation of
discriminations from derivation trees, Quinlan's ID3, inverse
resolution, and Mitchell's version spaces algorithm. The programs are
currently available via anonymous ftp-server from the GMD:
ftp.gmd.de:/gmd/mlt/ML-Program-Library [129.26.8.90]
Send additional PROLOG implementations of Machine Learning
Algorithms, complaints about them and detected bugs or problems
to Thomas Hoppe, <hoppet@cs.tu-berlin.de>. Send suggestions and
complaints about the ftp library to Werner Emde, Gesellschaft
fuer Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung, Bonn, <emde@gmdzi.gmd.de>.
Prolog to SQL Compiler:
The Prolog to SQL Compiler translates database access requests,
which consist of a projection term and a database goal, to the
appropriate SQL query. The compiler is written in standard Edinburgh
Prolog and has been ported to a number of Prologs. The code posted to
comp.lang.prolog works in ECRC's SEPIA Prolog, but should be easily
ported to other Prologs. A detailed tech report on the implementation
is available by email from draxler@sun1.cis.uni-muenchen.de (include
your full postal address). The compiler is copyright, but may be used
free of charge for non-commercial purposes and redistributed provided
the copyright notice is retained intact.
PSI:
PSI is a handy system for the management and retrieval of your
personal data, be it addresses, CD collections, or bibliographic
references. It is intended for the non-commercial user. It may not be
as full-fledged as some data-base systems, but has some features that
you won't find in most commercial systems. Also, you may find it
easier to set up and faster to use. PSI is useful for a broad range of
data. Indexing with descriptors makes searching for the data you need
fast, and the interface to other data-base formats (import and export)
is quite powerful. PSI was written in LPA MacProlog and is a "genuine
'double clickable' Mac application". PSI runs on all Macs with System
6 or 7 in 1MB of main memory. As LPA MacProlog isn't yet 32-bit clean,
PSI isn't either. Extensive documentation and some examples are
included. PSI is available by anonymous ftp from
sumex-aim.stanford.edu, directory info-mac/app, file psi-23.hqx. It
was also available on a recent Nautilus CD-ROM and will be on the
first Info-Mac CD-ROM.
SEL:
SEL is a declarative set processing language. Its main features are
subset and equational program clauses, pattern matching over sets,
support for efficient iteration and point-wise/incremental computation
over sets, the ability to define transitive closures through circular
constraints, meta-programming and simple higher-order programming, and
a modest user-interface including tracing. The language seems
well-suited to a number of problems in graph theory, program analysis,
and discrete mathematics. The SEL compiler is written in Quintus
Prolog and the run-time system is written in C. It generates WAM-like
code, extended to deal with set-matching, memoization, and the novel
control structure of the language. SEL is available by anonymous FTP
from ftp.cs.buffalo.edu:users/bharat/SEL2/. The FTP release comes with a
user manual, bibliography of papers (including .dvi files), several
sample programs, and source code. For further information, write to
Bharat Jayaraman <bharat@cs.buffalo.edu>.

Subject: [1-6] X-Windows Interfaces
PI:
PI is an interface between Prolog applications and the X Window System
that aims to be independent from the Prolog engine, provided that it
has a Quintus-style foreign function interface (such as SICStus, YAP).
It is mostly written in Prolog and is divided in two libraries: (1)
Edipo, a low-level interface to the Xlib functions, and (2) Ytoolkit,
a high-level user interface toolkit that allows you to create and
manage graphical objects, define new classes of objects, and handle
user interaction. PI is available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.ncc.up.pt:/pub/prolog/ytoolkit.tar.Z and includes documentation
and some demos. Send questions, comments, and bug reports to Ze' Paulo
Leal, Universidade de Porto, Portugal, <zp@ncc.up.pt>.
XWIP:
export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/xwip.tar.Z
ftp.uu.net:X/contrib/xwip.tar.Z
XWIP is an X Windows interface for PROLOG.
XPCE:
XPCE is an object-oriented X-window interface toolkit for symbolic
programming languages (Prolog and Lisp), offering a high level of
abstraction for communication with X11, Unix processes, Unix
networking facilities (sockets) and Unix files. XPCE's built-in
classes (about 150) are mostly written in C. The XPCE/Prolog
interface allows the user to create and manipulate instances of these
classes. The user can also create new XPCE classes from Prolog.
XPCE's window related classes provide various styles of menus,
primitive graphical objects, compound graphical objects and Emacs
oriented programmable text manipulation windows. The distribution
contains several demo programs, including a diagram drawing tool
(PceDraw), an animation demo, an Epoch-like editor, a graphical
interface to Unix ispell, and an online hyper-text manual for XPCE
itself. A demo version of XPCE/SWI-Prolog for Linux may be obtained
by anonymous ftp from swi.psy.uva.nl:pub/xpce/linux/ [145.18.114.17].
The non-demo versions (for SWI-Prolog, SICStus Prolog, Lucid Common
Lisp and LispWorks) require filling out a license and paying a fee
(see the file pub/xpce/INFO). To be added to the mailing list
xpce@swi.psy.uva.nl send mail to xpce-request@swi.psu.uva.nl. Send
bugs to xpce-bugs@swi.psy.uva.nl.

Subject: [2-1] Public Domain or Free Prolog Implementations
The following list of free Prolog and logic programming
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>.
Aquarius Prolog:
Aquarius Prolog is a high-performance, portable Prolog implementation
developed since 1989 by the Aquarius Project at UC/Berkeley, the Advanced
Computer Architecture Laboratory (ACAL) at the University of Southern
California (USC), and at Digital Equipment Corporation's Paris Research
Laboratory. The developers are Tom Getzinger, Ralph Clarke Haygood, and
Peter Van Roy. Aquarius Prolog includes:
- A compiler with global analysis. The compiler is built around the
Berkeley Abstract Machine (BAM) execution model for Prolog. BAM
retains desirable features of the Warren Abstract Machine (WAM),
but allows for significant further optimizations and is easier to
map onto actual general-purpose machines.
- A back-end that maps the BAM onto various actual general-purpose
machines, including MIPS R3000 (DEC Ultrix and MIPS RISC/os),
SPARC (SunOS), HP 9000 300/400 with MC68020, MC68030 or MC68040
processors (HP-UX), and Sun3 (SunOS).
- A run-time system offering substantially the same built-in
predicates and memory management as Quintus Prolog, with additions
such as two kinds of destructive assignment. Most of the built-in
predicates are written in Prolog, with little or no performance
penalty.
Aquarius Prolog also includes an interpreter and documentation.
Aquarius Prolog comes in two distributions, Enduser and Full. The
latter includes full source code and implementation notes.
Aquarius Prolog may be obtained free of charge from USC, after signing
and returning a license agreement. To get the license agreement, send a
message to listserv@acal-server.usc.edu with
get aquarius-info license
in the message body. To get more information about the Full and
Enduser distributions, send the listserver a message containing
one or both of the two lines:
get aquarius-info readme-full
get aquarius-info readme-enduser
To subscribe to the aquarius-prolog mailing list, send the listserver a
message with body:
subscribe aquarius-prolog <Your real name here>
To get more information about the abilities of the listserver, send it a
message with 'help' in the body.
For further information, write to University of Southern California,
Advanced Computer Architecture Laboratory (ACAL), Attn: Aquarius Prolog
Licensing, 3740 S. McClintock, Suite 131, Los Angeles, CA 90089-2561, or
send email to aquarius@acal-server.usc.edu.
BinProlog:
clement.info.umoncton.ca:BinProlog/binpro.1.71.tar.Z [139.103.16.2]
The file papers.tar.Z contains papers related to the implementation.
BinProlog replaces the WAM by a more compact continuation passing
logic engine based on a mapping of full Prolog to binary logic
programs. BinProlog is free for research and other non-profit
purposes. Version 1.71 runs on Sparc, Sun3, NeXT, and 386/486. The
compiler makes 400 KLIPS on a Sparc 10-20 (101 KLIPS on a NeXT) and
still uses a very small (38K under Solaris 2.1) emulator, making it
among the fastest freely available C-emulated Prologs. 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. Current version 1.2.
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.
CORAL:
CORAL is a deductive database/logic programming system developed at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It is a declarative language
based on Horn-clause rules with extensions like SQL's group-by and
aggregation operators, and uses a Prolog-like syntax.
CORAL is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.wisc.edu. The
distribution includes source code compatible with AT&T C++ Version 2.0
or later, executables for Decstations and SUN 4s, the CORAL User
Manual, and some related papers containing a language overview and
implementation details. (A version of the source code compatible with
GNU g++ will be available shortly.) For more information, contact
Raghu Ramakrishnan, <raghu@ricotta.cs.wisc.edu>.
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.
ECLiPSe:
ECLiPSe (ECRC Logic Programming System) combines the functionalities
of several ECRC systems, including Sepia, MegaLog and CHIP. ECLiPSe
includes a Prolog compiler with extended functionality that is Quintus
and SICStus compatible, a tightly connected database system based on
the BANG file system, a CLP system containing several libraries with
various types of constraint handling schemes, and an X11-based graphic
system (KEGI). The BANG database can store not only relations, but
also any Prolog structures and programs. ECLiPSe also includes a
profiler, user-definable syntax, metaterms as first-class citizens,
coroutining, unlimited precision integer and rational numbers, and a
library for generalized propagation Propia. ECLiPSe is available for a
nominal fee of DM 300 (~$200) to all academic and government-sponsored
organizations. It is distributed in binary form for Sun-3 and Sparc
machines. Send orders or requests for further information to
sepia_request@ecrc.de or write to ECRC, Arabellastrasse 17,
D-8000 Munich 81, Germany. The ECLiPSe documentation (ASCII and dvi)
and some shareware packages ported to ECliPSe are now available by
anonymous ftp from ecrc.de:/pub/eclipse. To subscribe to the
sepia_users@ecrc.de mailing list, send mail to eclipse_request@ecrc.de.
eLP:
eLP (Ergo Lambda Prolog) is an interpreter written by Conal Elliott,
Frank Pfenning and Dale Miller in Common Lisp and implements the core
of lambda Prolog (higher-order hereditary Harrop formulas). It is
embedded in a larger development environment called ESS (the Ergo
Support System). eLP implements all core language feature and offers
a module system, I/O, some facilities for tracing, error handling,
arithmetic, recursive top-levels, on-line documentation and a number
of extended examples, including many programs from Amy Felty's and
John Hannan's thesis. It should run in Allegro Common Lisp, Lucid
Common Lisp, Kyoto Common Lisp, CMU Common Lisp and Ibuki Common Lisp.
The eLP implementation of lambda Prolog is no longer developed or
maintained, but it is still available via anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/ergo/export/ess/. The file
ergolisp.tar.Z contains the Ergo project's extensions to Common Lisp,
including some facilities for attributes and dealing with abstract
syntax trees. The file sb.tar.Z contains the Ergo
Parser/Unparser/Formatter generator and ab.tar.Z contains the Ergo
Attribute Grammar facility. The file elp.tar.Z contains the Ergo
implementation of lambda Prolog. To customize grammars you need the
sb.tar.Z file. When you retrieve the system, please print, fill out,
and send in a copy of the non-restrictive license you will find in the
file LICENSE. To subscribe to the elp@cs.cmu.edu mailing list, send
mail to elp-request@cs.cmu.edu. Bugs should be sent to
elp-bugs@cs.cmu.edu.
ESL Prolog-2 (PD Version):
ai.uga.edu:ai.prolog/eslpdpro.zip [128.192.12.9]
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. (Add the line
:- state(token_class,_,dec10).
at the beginning of the program.) It is a more limited version
of the interpreter from the Commercial Version (see [2-2] below).
[Please note that ESL Prolog is NOT a UGA product, they just run
the machine on which a copy is made available. Anyone with
questions should contact ESL in Oxford, England (see [2-2] below).]
Goedel:
GOEDEL is intended to be a declarative successor to Prolog. The
main design aim of Goedel is to have functionality and expressiveness
similar to Prolog, but to have greatly improved declarative semantics
compared with Prolog. This improved declarative semantics has
substantial benefits for program construction, verification,
debugging, transformation, and so on. Considerable emphasis is placed
on Goedel's meta-logical facilities, since this is where Prolog is
most deficient. In particular, Goedel has declarative replacements
for Prolog's var, nonvar, assert, and retract. Goedel is a strongly
typed language, its type system being based on many-sorted logic with
parametric polymorphism. The release includes the Goedel system, a
draft book on the language, a user manual, and 50 example programs.
Goedel must be compiled in SICStus Prolog; a sparc executable is
included in the distribution. Goedel is available by anonymous ftp
from ftp.cs.kuleuven.ac.be:/pub/logic-prgm/goedel [134.58.41.2] and
ftp.cs.bris.ac.uk:/goedel [137.222.102.102]. For more information,
write to goedel@compsci.bristol.ac.uk. Please send an email message to
this address (with your name, institution and address) to this address
when you obtain the system.
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.
Prolog/Mali (Lambda-Prolog):
Prolog/Mali is a compiler for the higher-order language Lambda-Prolog.
Lambda-Prolog is an extension of Prolog defined by Miller (Miller,
D.A., and Nadathur, G., "Higher-order logic programming", 3rd
International Conference on Logic Programming, pages 448-462, London
1986). It is an extension of Prolog where terms are simply typed
lambda terms and clauses are higher order hereditary Harrop formulas.
The main novelties are universal quantification on goals and
implication. Prolog/Mali is a complete system which includes a C
translator, a linker, libraries, runtime, and documentation, and runs
on UNIX. It requires the MALI-V06 abstract memory package.
Prolog/Mali is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.irisa.fr:pm/.
Written by Pascal Brisset <brisset@irisa.fr> (or <brisset@ecrc.de>)
and Olivier Ridoux (ridoux@irisa.fr). To be added to the mailing list,
send mail to prolog-mali-request@irisa.fr. For more information, send
mail to pm@irisa.fr.
LIFE:
LIFE (Logic, Inheritance, Functions, and Equations) is an experimental
programming language with a powerful facility for structured type
inheritance. It reconciles styles from functional programming, logic
programming, and object-oriented programming. It subsumes the
functionality of its precursor languages LOGIN and Le_Fun, and may be
seen as an extension of Prolog. The syntax of Wild_LIFE has been kept
as close as possible to that of the Edinburgh standard for Prolog.
LIFE offers natively high-level abstraction facilities and convenient
data and control structures particularly well-suited for AI
programming. LIFE implements a constraint logic programming language
with equality (unification) and entailment (matching) constraints over
order-sorted feature terms. The interplay of unification and matching
provides an implicit coroutining facility thanks to an automatic
suspension mechanism. This allows interleaving interpretation of
relational and functional expressions which specify structural
dependencies on objects. The Wild_LIFE interpreter is the first
implementation of the LIFE language available to the general public.
It is a product of the Paradise project at Digital Equipment
Corporation's Paris Research Laboratory (DEC PRL). Wild_LIFE runs on
DECstations (Ultrix), SparcStations and RS/6000 systems and should
be portable to other Unix workstations. It is implemented in C,
and includes an interface to X Windows. Wild_LIFE is available
by anonymous ftp from gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/plan as the file
Life.tar.Z. To be added to the mailing list (life-users@prl.dec.com),
send mail to life-request@prl.dec.com. Send bug reports to
life-bugs@prl.dec.com.
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.
Open Prolog:
Open Prolog (OP) is a Prolog interpreter for the Apple Macintosh.
It follows the so-called 'Edinburgh' syntax and supports most standard
Prolog features, including Definite Clause Grammars.
Extra predicates can be added via drop-in external predicates, similar to
Hypercard's XCMDs.
OP will work in any Macintosh from a Plus upwards, and is now
32-bit clean.
OP's home site is grattan.cs.tcd.ie [134.226.32.15] in
languages/open-prolog
It is also available from other sites, such as:

PCN:
PCN (Program Composition Notation) is not a logic programming
language, but it has similarities to Strand and other concurrent logic
programming languages. PCN is a parallel programming system that
provides a simple language for specifying concurrent algorithms,
interfaces to Fortran and C, a portable toolkit that allows
applications to be developed on a workstation or small parallel
computer and run unchanged on supercomputers, and integrated debugging
and performance analysis tools. PCN includes a runtime system,
compiler, linker, a set of standard libraries, virtual topology tools,
a symbolic debugger (PDB), an execution profiler (Gauge), and a trace
analysis tool (Upshot). PCN was developed at Argonne National
Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology. PCN runs on
Sun4, NeXT, IBM RS/6000, SGI Iris, Intel iPSC/860, Intel Touchstone
DELTA, Sequent Symmetry running Dynix (not PTX), and should be easy to
port to other architectures. PCN is in the public domain and can be
obtained by anonymous ftp from
info.mcs.anl.gov:/pub/pcn/pcn_v2.0.tar.Z
The distribution includes a user's guide containing a tutorial and
reference material. For further information on PCN, please send email to

XSB:
XSB is a Prolog-based Logic Programming System that extends the
standard functionality of Prolog with an implementation of OLDT
(tabling) and HiLog terms. It is a descendent of PSB-Prolog and
SB-Prolog. OLDT resolution is useful for recursive query computation,
allowing programs to terminate correctly in many cases where Prolog
does not. HiLog supports a type of higher-order programming in which
predicate symbols can be variable or structured. This allows
unification to be performed on the predicate symbols themselves in
addition to the arguments of the predicates. XSB runs on Sun3, Sun4,
and NeXT, and can be compiled using either the GNU C compiler or the
Sun C compiler. THIS IS A BETA RELEASE. XSB is available by anonymous
ftp from sbcs.sunysb.edu:pub/XSB/XSB.tar.Z [130.245.1.15]. For further
information, write to XSB Research Group, Computer Science Department,
SUNY at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 11794, or send email to
xsb-contact@cs.sunysb.edu.
