Expressive power of Constraint Handling Rules extensions and fragments
نویسنده
چکیده
Constraints can be used in concurrency theory to increase the conciseness and the expressive power of concurrent languages from a pragmatic point of view. In this work we study the expressive power of a concurrent language, namely Constraint Handling Rules, that supports constraints as a primitive construct. We show what features of this language make it Turing powerful and what happens to its expressive power if priorities are introduced.

A On the expressive power of multiple heads in CHR
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. CHR programs consist of multi-headed guarded rules which allow to rewrite constraints into simpler ones until a solved form is reached. Many empirical evidences suggest that multiple heads augment the expre...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملExpressiveness of Multiple Heads in CHR
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a general purpose, committedchoice declarative language which, differently from other similar languages, uses multi-headed (guarded) rules. In this paper we prove that multiple heads augment the expressive power of the language. In fact, we first show that restricting to single head rules affects the Turing completeness of CHR, provided that the underlying sig...
متن کاملAutomatic generation of CHR constraint solvers
In this paper, we present a framework for automatic generation of CHR solvers given the logical specification of the constraints. This approach takes advantage of the power of tabled resolution for constraint logic programming, in order to check the validity of the rules. Compared to previous work (Apt and Monfroy 1999; Ringeissen and Monfroy 2000; Abdennadher and Rigotti 2000; Abdennadher and ...
متن کاملType Classes and Constraint Handling Rules
Type classes are an elegant extension to traditional, Hindley-Milner based typing systems. They are used in modern, typed languages such as Haskell to support controlled overloading of symbols. Haskell 98 supports only single-parameter and constructor type classes. Other extensions such as multi-parameter type classes are highly desired but are still not officially supported by Haskell. Subtle ...
