Constraint Logic Programming
(CLP) A programming framework based (like Prolog) on LUSH (or SLD) resolution,
but in which unification has been replaced by a constraint solver. A CLP
interpreter contains a Prolog-like inference engine and an incremental
constraint solver. The engine sends constraints to the solver one at a time. If
the new constraint is consistent with the collected constraints it will be added
to the set. If it was inconsistent, it will cause the engine to backtrack.
CLP* is a variant.
