Constraint programming is a powerful paradigm for solving combinatorial search problems
that draws on a wide range of techniques from artificial intelligence, computer science …

13. Implementing Spaces Page 1 13. Implementing Spaces This chapter discusses the
implementation of computation spaces. The implementation of Oz Light is extended by nodes …

Much progress has been made in distributed computing in the areas of distribution structure,
open computing, fault tolerance, and security. Yet, writing distributed applications remains …

Oz is a multiparadigm language that supports logic programming as one of its major
paradigms. A multiparadigm language is designed to support different programming …

We define a practical algorithm for distrubuted rational tree unification and prove its
correctness in both the off-line and on-line cases. We derive the distributed algorithm from a …

This thesis presents design, application, implementation, and evaluation of computation
spaces as abstractions for programming constraint services at a high level. Spaces are …

This thesis presents constraint propagation in Mozart which is based on computational
agents called propagators. The thesis designs, implements, and evaluates propagator …

Six blind sages were shown an elephant and met to discuss their experience.“It's wonderful,”
said the first,“an elephant is like a rope: slender and flexible.”“No, no, not at all,” said the …

We will show how the operational features of logic programming can be added as
conservative extensions to a functional base language with call by value semantics. We will …

In this thesis we describe the design and implementation of a virtual machine LVM for the
execution of Oz programs. Oz is a concurrent, dynamically typed, functional language with …
