چکیده

Dynamic Programming (DP) is an important technique used in solving optimization problems. A close correspondence between DP recurrences and Constraint Handling Rules with rule priorities (CHR) yields natural implementations of DP problems in CHR. In this work, we evaluate different implementation techniques with respect to their runtime. From our results we derive a set of guidelines for implementing arbitrary DP problems in CHR.

Optimizing Compilation of CHR with Rule Priorities

Constraint Handling Rules were recently extended with userdefinable rule priorities. This paper shows how this extended language can be efficiently compiled into the underlying host language. It extends previous work by supporting rules with dynamic priorities and by introducing various optimizations. The effects of the optimizations are empirically evaluated and the new compiler is compared wi...

The expressive power of CHR with priorities

Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a committed-choice declarative language which has been originally designed for writing constraint solvers and which is nowadays a general purpose language. Recently the language has been extended by introducing user-definable (static or dynamic) rule priorities. The resulting language allows a better control over execution while retaining a declarative and fle...

Workshop Coordinators:

The notion of “rule” is ubiqitous in computer science, from theoretical formalisms to practical programming languages. Matured rulebased programming experiences a renaissance due to its applications in areas such as business rules, semantic web, computational biology, medical diagnosis, software verification, and security. We will embed rule-based approaches into the Constraint Handling Rules (...

Translating Constraint Handling Rules into Action Rules

CHR is a popular high-level language for implementing constraint solvers and other general purpose applications. It has a wellestablished operational semantics and quite a number of different implementations, prominently in Prolog. However, there is still much room for exploring the compilation of CHR to Prolog. Nearly all implementations rely on attributed variables. In this paper, we explore ...
