Abstract

Prolog is uniquely suited to be an implementation language for electronic circuit design tools. Its strength in language processing and basis in logic make it a perfect environment for manipulating the formal languages used to describe logical systems. Furthermore, language-oriented design, in which the hardware designer writes, compiles, and tests textual hardware descriptions has become increasingly important. Prolog meets this need for a powerful, language-oriented, software development environment.
