Constraint logic programming (CLP) is an extension of logic programming aimed at replacing the pattern matching mechanism of unification, as used in Prolog, by a more general operation called constraint satisfaction. This article provides a panoramic view of the recent work done in designing and implementing CLP languages. It also presents a summary of their theoretical foundations, discusses implementation issues, compares the major CLP languages, and suggests directions for further work.
