Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5388))

Abstract

Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a declarative concurrent committed-choice constraint logic programming language consisting of guarded rules that transform multisets of relations called constraints until no more change occurs. As an introduction to CHR as a general-purpose programming language we present some small programs using different programming styles and discuss their properties.
