abstract:
In this talk, I will introduce narrowing, the characterizing feature
of functional logic programming, from the programmer’s viepoint.
Narrowing promotes non-determinism and it enables computing with
incomplete or unknown information. After a short and informal
presentation of Curry, the leading functional logic language, I will
discuss a few examples showing that narrowing and its associated
non-determinism support programming at a very high level of
abstraction.
