Procedural computer languages have long been used in many aspects of mathematics pedagogy. In this work, we examine the use of Prolog, a declarative language for the same purpose. We find the facts+rules aspect of Prolog to be a novel…
The programming language Prolog makes declarative programming possible, at least to a substantial extent. Programs may be written and reasoned about in terms of their declarative semantics. All the advantages of declarative programming are…
Prolog is a well-known declarative programming language commonly used in introductory courses on logic and reasoning. However, many students find Prolog challenging because it lacks the familiar debugging mechanisms found in imperative…
In recent years we have explored using Haskell alongside a traditional mathematical formalism in our large-enrolment university course on topics including logic and formal languages, aiming to offer our students a programming perspective on…
In this paper we demonstrate several examples of solving challenging algorithmic problems from the Google Code Jam programming contest with the Prolog-based ECLiPSe system using declarative techniques like constraint logic programming and…
This paper contains examples for a companion paper "The Prolog Debugger and Declarative Programming", which discusses (in)adequacy of the Prolog debugger for declarative programming. Logic programming is a declarative programming paradigm.…
When working on intelligent tutor systems designed for mathematics education and its specificities, an interesting objective is to provide relevant help to the students by anticipating their next steps. This can only be done by knowing,…
ECLAIR is a Prolog-based prototype system aiming to provide a functionally complete environment for the study, development and evaluation of programming language analysis and implementation tools. In this paper, we sketch the overall…
The Logic Programming through Prolog has been widely used for supply persistence in many systems that need store knowledge. Some implementations of Prolog Programming Language used for supply persistence have bidirectional interfaces with…
Development of distributed systems is a difficult task. Declarative programming techniques hold a promising potential for effectively supporting programmer in this challenge. While Datalog-based languages have been actively explored for…
An important learning objective for computer science students is to learn how to formalize descriptions of real world scenarios in order to subsequently solve real world challenges using methods and algorithms from formal foundations of…
This is a tutorial on logic programming and Prolog appropriate for a course on programming languages for students familiar with imperative programming.
A functional hardware description language enables students to gain a working understanding of computer systems, and to see how the levels of abstraction fit together. By simulating circuits, digital design becomes a living topic, like…
This paper presents a new Massive Open Online Course on Natural Language Processing, targeted at non-English speaking students. The course lasts 12 weeks; every week consists of lectures, practical sessions, and quiz assignments. Three…
Proust is a small Racket program offering rudimentary interactive assistance in the development of verified proofs for propositional and predicate logic. It is constructed in stages, some of which are done by students before using it to…
This volume constitutes the pre-proceedings of the DECLARE 2019 conference, held on September 9 to 13, 2019 at the University of Technology Cottbus - Senftenberg (Germany). Declarative programming is an advanced paradigm for the modeling…
Sequential programming and work-flow programming are two useful, but radically different, ways of describing computational processing. Of the two, it is sequential programming that we teach all programmers and support by programming…
Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international event for presenting research in logic programming. Contributions are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to:…
We present GUPU, a side-effect free environment specialized for programming courses. It seamlessly guides and supports students during all phases of program development, covering specification, implementation, and program debugging. GUPU…
This paper provides an overview of common challenges in teaching of logic and formal methods to Computer Science and IT students. We discuss our experiences from the course IN3050: Applied Logic in Engineering, introduced as a "logic for…
