Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a rule-based programming language which is typically embedded into a general-purpose language. There exists a plethora of implementations of CHR for numerous host languages. However, the existing…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a rule-based programming language that rewrites collections of constraints. It is typically embedded into a general-purpose language. There exists a plethora of implementation for numerous host languages.…
We introduce the framework FreeCHR which formalizes the embedding of Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) into a host language, using the concept of initial algebra semantics from category theory. We hereby establish a high-level implementation…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is both an effective concurrent declarative constraint-based programming language and a versatile computational formalism. While conceptually simple, CHR is distinguished by a remarkable combination of…
CHR is a declarative, concurrent and committed choice rule-based constraint programming language. We extend CHR with multiset comprehension patterns, providing the programmer with the ability to write multiset rewriting rules that can match…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) are a committed-choice declarative language which has been designed for writing constraint solvers. A CHR program consists of multi-headed guarded rules which allow one to rewrite constraints into simpler…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a high-level programming language based on multi-headed multiset rewrite rules. Originally designed for writing user-defined constraint solvers, it is now recognized as an elegant general purpose language.…
We observe that the various formulations of the operational semantics of Constraint Handling Rules proposed over the years fall into a spectrum ranging from the analytical to the pragmatic. While existing analytical formulations facilitate…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a declarative committed-choice programming language with a strong relationship to linear logic. Its generalization CHR with Disjunction (CHRv) is a multi-paradigm declarative programming language that…
In this paper we discuss the optimizing compilation of Constraint Handling Rules (CHRs). CHRs are a multi-headed committed choice constraint language, commonly applied for writing incremental constraint solvers. CHRs are usually implemented…
Programming languages and techniques based on logic and constraints, such as the Constraint Handling Rules (CHR), can support many common programming tasks that can be expressed in the form of a search for feasible or optimal solutions.…
Constraint Handling Rules is an effective concurrent declarative programming language and a versatile computational logic formalism. CHR programs consist of guarded reactive rules that transform multisets of constraints. One of the main…
Grammars written as Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) can be executed as efficient and robust bottom-up parsers that provide a straightforward, non-backtracking treatment of ambiguity. Abduction with integrity constraints as well as other…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHRs) are a high-level rule-based programming language for specification and implementation of constraint solvers. CHR manipulates a global store representing a flat conjunction of constraints. By default, CHR…
In this paper, we address the problem of defining a fixpoint semantics for Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) that captures the behavior of both simplification and propagation rules in a sound and complete way with respect to their declarative…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a declarative rule-based formalism and language. Concurrency is inherent as rules can be applied to subsets of constraints in parallel. Parallel implementations of CHR, be it in software, be it in…
Computational psychology has the aim to explain human cognition by computational models of cognitive processes. The cognitive architecture ACT-R is popular to develop such models. Although ACT-R has a well-defined psychological theory and…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a committed-choice rule-based language that was originally intended for writing constraint solvers. In this paper we show that it is also possible to write the classic union-find algorithm and variants in…
We present a straightforward source-to-source transformation that introduces justifications for user-defined constraints into the CHR programming language. Then a scheme of two rules suffices to allow for logical retraction (deletion,…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) have provided a realistic solution to an over-arching problem in many fields that deal with constraint logic programming: how to combine recursive functions or relations with constraints while avoiding…
