Concurrent Goal-Based Execution of Constraint Handling Rules (1006.3039v2)
Published 15 Jun 2010 in cs.PL
Abstract: (To appear in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP)) We introduce a systematic, concurrent execution scheme for Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) based on a previously proposed sequential goal-based CHR semantics. We establish strong correspondence results to the abstract CHR semantics, thus guaranteeing that any answer in the concurrent, goal-based CHR semantics is reproducible in the abstract CHR semantics. Our work provides the foundation to obtain efficient, parallel CHR execution schemes.
