  2. TRACES: Eighteen Years of Collaboration with Jan Małuszyński and more…

  3. 1983 Pierre Deransart INRIA Rocquencourt (France) +10 +25 A hard work on my own memory …

  5. but also …

  6. An unbounded sequence of trace events of the form • (t, at, St) • t: timestamp. Time of the event • at: kind of event • St the actual state What is a trace ?

  7. TRACES: key events 1982first encounter at first ICLP, Marseille 1985 Relating LP and Attribute Grammars (JLP) 1988 lauching PLILP conference serie at Orléans 1993Grammatical View of LP (MIT Press) 1997 Launching DiSCiPl Esprit Project in Paris 2000CP analysis tools (Springer) 2007 Meeting at Dresden and Munich … traces

  8. ICLP Marseille TRACES are like this… ICLP Uppsala (1982) (1984) (WS 1983)

  9. TRACES are like this… (2000) PLILP (1988) (1993)

  10. TRACES are also like this…

  11. I will try to remember… Trace is also a story

  12. Our story starts for me at Bonas in 1980 (a seminar center located in an old castle restored by Jean-Claude Simon in 1972) (1923-2000) International Workshop on Program Construction A.Biermann, G.Guiho, Y.Kodratoff eds, 1980

  13. A strong debate ?…. Thesis: « Prolog is purely declarative, since one has just to write axioms in FOL (just Horn clauses)…  It works like an executable specification language, and there is nothing to prove about it» Surprise: ….    «  Which kind of miracle is this …. !?!! » Hervé Gallaire Michel Sintzoff

  14. If Prolog is the Answer, what is the Question?or What it Takes to Support AI Programming ParadigmsDaniel G. Bobrow, 1985IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering V11 I11

  15. For me (at this moment) the answer was clear: LP can be used as formal specification language, but to use this paradigm and to take all benefits from the « logical view », a specific methodology has to be invented

  16. Traces with Gérard 1975 Coming back from Brazil, starting to work on AG 1982 First « Séminaire de Programmation en Logique », Perroz-Guirrec 1983Logical Attribute Grammars. IFIP Congress Paris 1985 Détection d'erreurs en programmation en logique with G. Ferrand, SPLT 1987 Formal Specification of Standard Prolog, with GRichard and C.Moss,SPLT 1988Proofs of Partial Correctness for Attribute Grammars with Applications to Recursive Procedures and LP, with B.Courcelle, Inf &Control 1988Attribute Grammars: Definitions, Systems, and Bibliography (LNCS) 1988 First PLILP, Orléans 1989 Methodological View of LP with Negation, with G. Ferrand 1991 NSTO Programs, with G. Ferrand and M. Téguia, ISLP, San Diego 1992Proof Method of Partial Correctness and Weak Completeness for Normal LP, with G. Ferrand, JICSLP, Washington, JLP 1993 1992An Operational Formal Definition of Prolog: A specification Method and Its Application, with G. Ferrand, New Generation Computing 1993Proof Methods of Declarative Properties of Definite Programs, TCS

  17. Traces with Jan(common actions and publications) 1975 1982 First ICLP, Marseille, Pierre and Jan’s first encounter 1983Modeling Data Dependencies in LP by Attribute Schemata, Perroz-Guirrec 1985 Relating Logic Programs and Attribute Grammars, JLP 1985 1987 1988 First PLILP, Orléans, with B. Lorho 1988 A Grammatical View of Logic Programming , PLILP 1989 (Lauching WAGA) 1990 Second PLILP, Linköping 1991 1992 1993A Grammatical View of Logic Programming, The MIT Press 1996 Jan spends one sabbatical year at INRIA 1996 Une méthode de preuve pour programmes concurrents avec contraintes sous forme clausale, with Pascal Chambre, JFPLC 2000Analysis and Visualization Tools for Constraint Programming, Springer

  18. To summarize • 1974: Great discovery: use of Definite Clauses for Programming. Write axioms P on relations p and make constructive proofs of p(t) • P |=t p(t) • and the Robinson’s resolution constructs the witness t • Our approach focused on this property, trying to keep logic programming practice logical. • It was based on these two ideas: • the interest of LP lies in the possibility to treat separatly declarative semantics (logic) and operational semantics (control) • negation without explicit specification of falsity (non constructive, 3-valued WF semantics)

  19. To summarize • Our work was on • foundations (relationships with AG), • methodology (how to keep logic in LP), • non constructive negation (WFS) • Present route: • AG? • Prolog is operational, • negation is constructive….

  20. What do we (I) learn from these traces? • Main stream publications with GF and JM • We never published all three together • One sequence, almost with G. Ferrand on methodology for LP based on correctness/completeness proofs first for DCP then for NLP formulated in the framework of LP and based on well-founded models • Another sequence, almost with Jan Maluszynski on methodology too, but based on relationships with AG, showing how many aspects of LP (dependencies, proofs, NSTO) could be grounded in AG.

  21. Was Orléans (100 km south from Rocquencourt) too far from Linkoeping? The sole very differences: Publications: « papers » with Gérard, « books » with Jan … Foundations: « Trees » with Gérard, « AG » with Jan I tried to figure out why? • Then (after 2000) • Jan: « proofs» • Pierre: « traces »

  22. TRACES: 18 years, after … Pierre 2000 Book on CP analysis tools (Springer) 2000-2004 OADimPPaC French RNTL Project: Generic traces for CP solvers analysis • Jan • 2000 Book on CP analysis tools (Springer) • 2004-2008 Rewerse Esprit Project Reasoning on the Web with Rules and Semantics
