Where Prolog is commonly seen as a component in a Web application that is either embedded or communicates using a proprietary protocol, we propose an architecture where Prolog communicates to other components in a Web application using the…
Code translation is a crucial activity in the software development and maintenance process, and researchers have recently begun to focus on using pre-trained large language models (LLMs) for code translation. However, existing LLMs only…
Automated documentation of programming source code is a challenging task with significant practical and scientific implications for the developer community. We present a large language model (LLM)-based application that developers can use…
The pervasive use of textual formats in the documentation of software requirements presents a great opportunity for applying large language models (LLMs) to software engineering tasks. High-quality software requirements not only enhance the…
Recently, we see a new type of interfaces for programmers based on web technology. For example, JSFiddle, IPython Notebook and R-studio. Web technology enables cloud-based solutions, embedding in tutorial web pages, atractive rendering of…
Modern computer programming languages are governed by complex syntactic rules. They are unlike natural languages; they require extensive manual work and a significant amount of learning and practicing for an individual to become skilled at…
Prolog was once the main host for implementing constraint solvers. It seems that it is no longer so. To be useful, constraint solvers have to be integrable into industrial applications written in imperative or object-oriented languages; to…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used in software development tasks nowadays. Unlike reusing code taken from the Web, for LLMs' generated code, developers are concerned about its lack of trustworthiness and possible copyright or…
We propose using natural language outlines as a novel modality and interaction surface for providing AI assistance to developers throughout the software development process. An NL outline for a code function comprises multiple statements…
The proliferation and accessability of the Internet have made it simple to view, download, and publish source code. This paper gives a short tutorial on how to create a new Common Lisp project and publish it.
We present a collection of modular open source C++ libraries for the development of logic synthesis applications. These libraries can be used to develop applications for the design of classical and emerging technologies, as well as for the…
It is next to impossible to develop real-life applications in just pure Prolog. With XPCE we realised a mechanism for integrating Prolog with an external object-oriented system that turns this OO system into a natural extension to Prolog.…
Exceptional behavior tests (EBTs) are crucial in software development for verifying that code correctly handles unwanted events and throws appropriate exceptions. However, prior research has shown that developers often prioritize testing…
Proponents of the programming language Prolog share the opinion Prolog is more appropriate for transforming XML-documents as other well-established techniques and languages like XSLT. In order to clarify this position this work proposes a…
A logic program is an executable specification. For example, merge sort in pure Prolog is a logical formula, yet shows creditable performance on long linked lists. But such executable specifications are a compromise: the logic is distorted…
The semantics and the recursive execution model of Prolog make it very natural to express language interpreters in form of AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) interpreters where the execution follows the tree representation of a program. An…
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.…
In this paper we present a Prolog plugin for Eclipse based upon BE4, and providing many features such as semantic-aware syntax highlighting, outline view, error marking, content assist, hover information, documentation generation, and quick…
Constraint logic programming emerged in the late 80's as a highly declarative class of programming languages based on first-order logic and theories with decidable constraint languages, thereby subsuming Prolog restricted to equality…
Contemporary Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit a high degree of code generation and comprehension capability. A particularly promising area is their ability to interpret code modules from unfamiliar libraries for solving user-instructed…
