SiLCC, linear concurrent constraint programming

Participant : Thierry Martinez.

SiLCC is an extensible modular concurrent constraint programming language relying upon linear logic. It is a complete implementation of the Linear logic Concurrent Constraint programming paradigm of Saraswat and Lincoln using the formal semantics of Fages, Ruet and Soliman. It is a single-paradigm logical language, enjoying concurrency, imperative traits, and a clean module system allowing to develop hierarchies of constraint systems within the language.

This software prototype is used to study the design of hierarchies of extensible libraries of constraint solvers. SiLCC is also considered as a possible implementation language for restructuring the code of BIOCHAM .
