    Book description

    Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is both a theoretical formalism based on logic and a practical programming language based on rules. This book, written by the creator of CHR, describes the theory of CHR and how to use it in practice. It is supported by a website containing teaching materials, online demos, and free downloads of the language. After a basic tutorial, the author describes in detail the CHR language and discusses guaranteed properties of CHR programs. The author then compares CHR with other formalisms and languages and illustrates how it can capture their essential features. Finally, larger programs are introduced and analyzed in detail. The book is ideal for graduate students and lecturers, and for more experienced programmers and researchers, who can use it for self-study. Exercises with selected solutions, and bibliographic remarks are included at the ends of chapters. The book is the definitive reference on the subject.

    Reviews

    ‘This is a great book illustrating both the simplicity and power of Constraint Handling Rules, the purest form of rule based programming I know.’

    Professor Peter J. Stuckey - University of Melbourne, and National ICT Australia

    ‘The reference on Constraint Handling Rules, covering both theory and practice.’

    Professor Pascal Van Hentenryck - Brown University, Rhode Island
