Goedel


Goedel

(language)(After the mathematician Kurt G?del) Adeclarative, general-purpose language for artificial intelligence based on logic programming. It can beregarded as a successor to Prolog. The type system isbased on many-sorted logic with parametric polymorphism.Modularity is supported, as well as infinite precision arithmetic and finite sets.

Goedel has a rich collection of system modules and providesconstraint solving in several domains. It also offersmetalogical facilities that provide significant support formetaprograms that do analysis, transformation, compilation,verification, and debugging.

A significant subset of Goedel has been implemented on top ofSISCtus Prolog by Jiwei Wang .
