ABSTRACT
Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) is a framework integrating Constraint Programming (CP) and Logic Programming (LP). CLP is described as a general schema of combination of logic-based languages and constraint solvers. Recently, a constraint system for the handling of constraints over sets of spatial objects has been presented. In this paper we study how to consider a CLP instance for this kind of constraints. In particular, we study the fixed-point and operational semantics of such instance. With respect to the operational semantics it is described how the constraint solver interacts with the mechanism of resolution, in particular how to detect failure branches by means of a consistence constraint checker and how to achieve constraint propagation and compute solved forms.

Temporal reasoning in a meta constraint logic programming architecture
TIME '96: Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME'96)Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) is a powerful programming paradigm combining the advantages of Logic Programming and the efficiency of constraint solving. However, CLP presents some limitations in dealing with temporal reasoning. First, it uses an "...
On Combining Backward and Forward Chaining in Constraint Logic Programming
PPDP '14: Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative ProgrammingWe address the problem of designing constraint logic languages that usefully combine backward and forward chaining in a sound and complete way. Following the approach of Constraint Logic Programming, we define a class of programming languages that ...
Constraint Functional Logic Programming Revisited
In this paper we propose a new generic scheme CFLP(D), intended as a logical and semantic framework for lazy Constraint Functional Logic Programming over a parametrically given constraint domain D. As in the case of the well known CLP(D) scheme for ...
