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.

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: [1-5]  The Prolog 1000 Database

The Prolog 1000 is a database of real Prolog applications being
assembled in conjunction with the Association for Logic Programming
(ALP) and PVG. The aim is to demonstrate how Prolog is being used in
the real world and it already contains over 400 programs with well
over 2 million lines of code. The database will be published in due
course and available for research use. If you have or know about a
program that might qualify for inclusion, send an email message to Al
Roth (alroth@cix.compulink.co.uk) for an electronic entry form which
only takes a few minutes to complete. Or write to Prolog 1000, PO Box
137, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY2 0XY, U.K., Fax: +44 253 53811
Telephone: +44 253 58081. (Floppy disks for PC or Mac in text form are
also welcome, and paper entries may also be sent). Queries may also
be addressed to: Chris Moss (cdsm@doc.ic.ac.uk), Leon Sterling
(leon@alpha.ces.cwru.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.
