Demonstrating (Hybrid) Active Logic Documents and the Ciao Prolog Playground, and an Application to Verification Tutorials

Abstract: Active Logic Documents (ALD) are web pages which incorporate embedded Prolog engines that run locally within the browser. ALD offers both a very easy way to add click-to-run capabilities to any kind of teaching materials, independently of the tool used to generate them, as well as a tool-set for generating web-based materials with embedded examples and exercises. Both leverage on (components of) the Ciao Prolog Playground. We present a demonstration of the ALD approach and the Ciao Prolog Playground, as well as a recent extension to ALDs to facilitate the integration of other tools into the system for creating Hybrid Active Logic Documents (HALD). We also present a concrete application of these technologies to the creation of tutorials for a program verification tool.
