Contents:

Prototyping databases in Prolog / T. Kazic ... [et al.] -- PREDITOR : a Prolog-based VLSI editor / Peter B. Reintjes -- Assisting register transfer level hardware design : a Prolog application / Paul J. Drongowski -- Developing a portable parallelizing Pascal compiler in Prolog / Eran Gabber -- ProMiX : a Prolog partial evaluation system / Arun Lakhotia and Leon Sterling -- Generating natural language explanations from plans / Chris Mellish -- A simple learning program / Richard O'Keefe -- Stream data analysis in Prolog / D. Stott Parker.

Summary: 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.Leon Sterling is Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering and Science at Case Western Reserve University. He is the coauthor, along with Ehud Shapiro, of The Art of Prolog.Contents: A 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. Reintjes. Assisting Register Transfer Level Hardware Design, Paul Drongowski. Design and Implementation of aPartial Evaluation System, Arun Lakhotia, Leon Sterling. Natural Language Generation from Plans, Chris Mellish. Stream Data Analysis in Prolog, Stott Parker.
