چکیده

Programs with constraints are hard to debug. In this paper, we describe a general architecture to help develop new debugging tools for constraint programming. The possible tools are fed by a single general-purpose tracer. A tracer-driver is used to adapt the actual content of the trace, according to the needs of the tool. This enables the tools and the tracer to communicate in a clientserver scheme. Each tool describes its needs of execution data thanks to event patterns. The tracer driver scrutinizes the execution according to these event patterns and sends only the data that are relevant to the connected tools. Experimental measures show that this approach leads to good performance in the context of constraint logic programming, where a large variety of tools exists and the trace is potentially huge.

Design and implementation of a tracer driver: Easy and efficient dynamic analyses of constraint logic programs

Tracers provide users with useful information about program executions. In this article, we propose a tracer driver . From a single tracer, it provides a powerful front-end enabling multiple dynamic analysis tools to be easily implemented, while limiting the overhead of the trace generation. The relevant execution events are speci ed by exible event patterns and a large variety of trace data ca...

Autonomous Parallel Parking of a Car Based on Parking Space Detection and Fuzzy Controller

This paper develops an automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering angle for the output. In this way some feasible reference trajectory path have been introduced according to geometric and kinematic constraints and nonholonomic constraints to simulate motion path of car. Also a novel method is used for parking space detec...

On using Tracer Driver for External Dynamic Process Observation

One is interested here in the observation of dynamic processes starting from the traces which they leave or those that one makes them produce. It is considered here that it should be possible to make several observations simultaneously, using a large variety of independently developed analyzers. For this purpose, we introduce the original notion of ``full trace'' to capture the idea that a proc...

Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode and indirect radial-basis-function neural network controller for trajectory tracking control of a car-like robot

The ever-growing use of various vehicles for transportation, on the one hand, and the statistics ofsoaring road accidents resulting from human error, on the other hand, reminds us of the necessity toconduct more extensive research on the design, manufacturing and control of driver-less intelligentvehicles. For the automatic control of an autonomous vehicle, we need its dynamic...

Differential-algebraic Dynamic Logic for Differential-algebraic Programs

We generalise dynamic logic to a logic for differential-algebraic programs, i.e., discrete programs augmented with first-order differentialalgebraic formulas as continuous evolution constraints in addition to first-order discrete jump formulas. These programs characterise interacting discrete and continuous dynamics of hybrid systems elegantly and uniformly. For our logic, we introduce a calcul...
