Download or read book Automatic Analysis of the Logical Structure of Programs written by Richard C. Waters and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a method for viewing complex programs as built up out of simpler ones. The central idea is that typical programs are built up in a small number of stereotyped ways. The method is designed to make it easier for an automatic system to work with programs. It focuses on how the primitive operations performed by a program are combined together in order to produce the actions of the program as a whole. It does not address the issue of how complex data structures are built up from simpler ones, nor the relationships between data structures and the operations performed on them. The plan building methods (PBMs) and the automatic analysis system presented in this report have been developed as part of a larger research project. The goal of this project is to develop a system, called a Programmer's Apprentice (PA), which can assist a person who is writing a program. The purpose of the PA is to make the construction, maintenance, and modification of programs easier and more reliable. The PA is intended to be midway between an improved programming methodology which facilitates good programming style, and an automatic programming system. The intention is that the PA and a programmer will work together throughout all phases of the development and maintenance of a program. The programmer will do the hard parts of design and implementation while the PA will act as a junior partner and critic keeping track of all the details and assisting the programmer wherever possible.
Download or read book Logic Programming and Automated Reasoning written by Andrei Voronkov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1993-06-29 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LPAR is an international conference series aimed at bringing together researchers interested in logic programming and automated reasoning. The research in logic programming grew out of the research in automated reasoning in the early 1970s. Later, the implementation techniques known from logic programming were used in implementing theorem proving systems. Results from both fields applied to deductive databases. This volume contains the proceedings of LPAR '93, which was organized by the Russian Association for Logic Programming. The volume contains 35 contributed papers selected from 84 submissions, together with an invited paper by Peter Wegner entitled "Reasoning versus modeling in computer science".

Download or read book Logic Program Synthesis from Incomplete Information written by Pierre Flener and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-12-31 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Program synthesis is a solution to the software crisis. If we had a program that develops correct programs from specifications, then program validation and maintenance would disappear from the software life-cycle, and one could focus on the more creative tasks of specification elaboration, validation, and maintenance, because replay of program development would be less costly. This monograph describes a novel approach to Inductive Logic Programming (ILP), which cross-fertilizes logic programming and machine learning. Aiming at the synthesis of recursive logic programs only, and this from incomplete information, we take a software engineering approach that is more appropriate than a pure artificial intelligence approach. This book is suitable as a secondary text for graduate level courses in software engineering and artificial intelligence, and as a reference for practitioners of program synthesis.
Download or read book A Science of Operations written by Mark Priestley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, computers fulfil a dazzling array of roles, a flexibility resulting from the great range of programs that can be run on them. A Science of Operations examines the history of what we now call programming, defined not simply as computer programming, but more broadly as the definition of the steps involved in computations and other information-processing activities. This unique perspective highlights how the history of programming is distinct from the history of the computer, despite the close relationship between the two in the 20th century. The book also discusses how the development of programming languages is related to disparate fields which attempted to give a mechanical account of language on the one hand, and a linguistic account of machines on the other. Topics and features: Covers the early development of automatic computing, including Babbage’s “mechanical calculating engines” and the applications of punched-card technology, examines the theoretical work of mathematical logicians such as Kleene, Church, Post and Turing, and the machines built by Zuse and Aiken in the 1930s and 1940s, discusses the role that logic played in the development of the stored program computer, describes the “standard model” of machine-code programming popularised by Maurice Wilkes, presents the complete table for the universal Turing machine in the Appendices, investigates the rise of the initiatives aimed at developing higher-level programming nota tions, and how these came to be thought of as ‘languages’ that could be studied independently of a machine, examines the importance of the Algol 60 language, and the framework it provided for studying the design of programming languages and the process of software development and explores the early development of object-oriented languages, with a focus on the Smalltalk project. This fascinating text offers a new viewpoint for historians of science and technology, as well as for the general reader. The historical narrative builds the story in a clear and logical fashion, roughly following chronological order.

Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to offer a series of computer programming models for the practical purpose of insuring project accountability in African countries. Despite its practicality, the book is also theoretically well-grounded. By doing so, it seeks to extend the epistemological boundaries of both Computer Science and Economics. It is, therefore, useful for students and teachers in those disciplines, and for policy-makers and practitioners in the field of economic development

Download or read book A Study in Automatic Programming written by Jack R. Buchanan and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A description of methods and an implementation of a system for automatic generation of programs is given. The problems of writing programs for numerical computation, symbol manipulation, robot control and everyday planning have been studied and some programs generated. A particular formalism, i.e. a FRAME, has been developed to define the programming environment and permit the statement of a problem. A frame, F, is formulated within the Logic of Programs (Hoare 1969, Hoare and Wirth 1972) and includes primitive functions and procedures, axioms, definitions and rules of program composition. A frame is translated into a backtrack problem solver augmented by special search procedures. The system is interactive, responds to simple advice and allows incremental and structured program development. (Modified author abstract).

Download or read book Automatic Inference in Quantified Computational Logic written by Frank M. Brown and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theory has been developed for reasoning about what is logically possible. The immediate motivation for this research is that advanced logic programming languages involved a nondeducibility primitive (THNOT is planner, one use of CUT in PROLOG) Which says to infer something if its negation is not deducible. The immediate significance of these results is that we now have effective axiomatizations for proving the correctness of logic programs involving non-deductibility primitives, and of various kinds of truth maintenance systems. However, the overall significance of this result transcends this particular application to program verification, because it provides the correct axiomatization of this concept, and much of the research on the logical representation of knowledge in artificial intelligence presupposes a solution to this very problem.
