As Time Goes By : Constraint Handling Rules A Survey of CHR Research from 1998 to 2007 JON

Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a high-level programming language based on multiheaded multiset rewrite rules. Originally designed for writing user-defined constraint solvers, it is now recognized as an elegant general purpose language. CHR-related research has surged during the decade following the previous survey by Frühwirth (1998). Covering more than 180 publications, this new survey provides an overview of recent results in a wide range of research areas, from semantics and analysis to systems, extensions and applications.
