Content
This page contains information available related to the K.U.Leuven JCHR System. Since JCHR is in the first place a research project, we will start with a list of related publications. This page also contains the latest version of the manual. Finally, links to related websites on Constraint Handling Rules are provided. For more information, please contact us.
For a quick overview of the systems' features we also recommend taking a look at the examples page.

This is only a small (and quite self-centered) selection of recent, related papers. Many more can be found on the CHR website, and in particular in the CHR bibliography. The references in the above publications are of course an excellent starting point for the interested reader as well.
Manual
An almost complete draft of the manual is available [ps, pdf]. We are still working on completing the manual, and welcome all questions and comments. The current manual covers version 1.5.1. An update for version 1.6.0 will follow soon. This explanation could also help you to experiment with the system. Also have a look at the examples page. For some basic information on how to run Java programs, look here.
