CHIP (programming language)

CHIP (Constraint Handling in Prolog) is a constraint logic programming language developed by M. Dincbas, Pascal Van Hentenryck and colleagues in 1985 at the European Computer-Industry Research Centre (ECRC), initially using a Prolog language interface.[1] It was the first programming language to implement Constraint Programming over Finite Domains, [2][3] and subsequently to introduce the concept of Global Constraints. [4]

CHIP V5 is the version developed and marketed by COSYTEC in Paris since 1993 with Prolog, using C, C++, or Prolog language interfaces.[5] The commercially successful ILOG Solver is also, partly, an offshoot of ECRC version of CHIP.
