Abstract
Abstract Tau Prolog is a client-side Prolog interpreter fully implemented in JavaScript, which aims at implementing the ISO Prolog Standard. Tau Prolog has been developed to be used with either Node.js or a browser seamlessly, and therefore, it has been developed following a non-blocking, callback-based approach to avoid blocking web browsers. Taking the best from JavaScript and Prolog, Tau Prolog allows the programmer to handle browser events and manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) of a web using Prolog predicates. In this paper we describe the architecture of Tau Prolog and its main packages for interacting with the Web, and we present its programming environment.
期刊介绍:
Theory and Practice of Logic Programming emphasises both the theory and practice of logic programming. Logic programming applies to all areas of artificial intelligence and computer science and is fundamental to them. Among the topics covered are AI applications that use logic programming, logic programming methodologies, specification, analysis and verification of systems, inductive logic programming, multi-relational data mining, natural language processing, knowledge representation, non-monotonic reasoning, semantic web reasoning, databases, implementations and architectures and constraint logic programming.
