Concurrent Web-programming in CLP(WEB)
Enrico Pontelli · 2005
Recent research has placed emphasis on the need for support for concurrency in the context of programming for the World Wide Web (W3). Frameworks like WebL, LogicWeb and Jinny make concurrency a key component of their W3 support. In this paper, we analyze the concurrent capabilities of CLP(WEB) (Constraint Logic Programming for the Web), a W3-oriented logic-based concurrent framework. CLP(WEB) offers two forms of concurrency, OR-concurrency and AND-concurrency. We illustrate how these forms of concurrency have been applied to tackle problems arising in W3 programming. We also show how the concurrent features proposed in other W3 programming frameworks are subsumed by CLP(WEB).
