The LPA ProWeb Server
The LPA ProWeb Server supports the development, testing and deployment of
intelligent, interactive, non-deterministic applications across the Web. This
means that Web sites can use Prolog in the background, with HTML and Java
providing the user interface. The LPA ProWeb Server hides the complexitity of
HTML forms and CGI programming, and handles all the communication between the
forms and the application logic. Forms can be defined either using a familiar
HTML editor, or ProWeb's pseudo-language.
Features of the LPA ProWeb Sever include:
Automatic creation of HTML and CGI code; Control over the granularity of
conversations (i.e. the number of forms/questions to be answered in each
exchange); Session management; Support for backtracking through alternative
solutions.
The ProWeb Server costs US$495 for a Programmer Edition and US$995 for a
Developer Edition.
LPA Prolog for Windows
The new v3.5 release of LPA Prolog for Windows features:
An Enhanced environment (e.g. a 'soft' configurable debugger); Support for
Win32s: Improved support for Windows NT (large text edit fields, etc); Extended
memory access; Improved interface to external code.
In 1996, LPA won a SMART award to develop ScaffoldIT, a tool to support
Web-based activities.
