Objectives

     *  To teach students Prolog programming beyond
        the elementary stage

     *  To introduce constraint logic programming

     *  To discuss the use of Prolog for programming
        expert systems

     *  To offer examples of realistic applications
        and supervised practical work

     *  To offer class discussion of  students'
        actual applications.


Content

     *  Techniques of search

     *  I/O for ``user-friendly'' programs

     *  Writing and using meta interpreters

     *  Using the all-solutions predicates

     *  Efficiency of algorithms

     *  Linear programming and constraint logic:
        CLOG

     *  Writing expert systems in Prolog: CRESS.


Duration                 4 days


Target Audience

This is an intensive, practical course intended for students with some
experience of Prolog who wish to extend their knowledge.  The syllabus
is an extension of the AIAI Prolog course and does not overlap it. 

Prerequisites

Each student should have: computer programming experience in Prolog and
competence in operating a Unix editor.  Students with no previous Prolog
experience are encouraged to attend the AIAI Introduction to Prolog
Course before attending this course.
