Functional programming starts with nested function applications, as
found in most programming languages, and leads to powerful higher-order and
concurrent languages: it developed from Lisp and Scheme to Standard ML,
Haskell, Erlang, and Pizza (a version of Java). Logic programming starts with
Horn-logic facts and rules and leads to logic markup languages for business
rules: it developed from Prolog to BRML, RuleML, and Common Logic. This
course will treat the core of functional and logic programming in an
integrated manner as an example of declarative programming. Applications
include Web Services that provide logic inferences and/or functional
transformations over XML data. These notions are introduced using the small
functional-logic language Relfun. |
