Abstract
We present ECOLOG, an environment designed for the definition and the experimentation of constraint logic programming languages. The aim of ECOLOG is to enable the user to define logics and constraint systems, to combine them and lastly to write specifications in the constraint logics such defined and to execute them. The evaluation mechanism is based on the one hand on the deduction rules specified in the (constraint) logic, and on the other hand on the resolution rules for constraints. ECOLOG is implemented in CAML.
Research initially supported by the French PRC programmation (Opération Elios).
