This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed and extended post-proceedings of the Joint ERCIM/CoLogNet International Workshop on Constraint Solving and Constraint Logic Programming, CSCLP 2005. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on global constraints, search and heuristics, language and implementation issues, and modeling.

There exist several proposals for the treatment of clause indexing in a compiler for the WAM. These are discussed, and a particular proposal is advocated, which postpones as long as possible the creation of choicepoints. We then address some problems with implementing the cut operator. Finally, it is shown how indexing instructions can subsume certain body goals.

On Compiling Indexing and Cut for the WAM.

SICStus Prolog is the de-facto standard industrial Prolog programming environment. With more than 25 years in fielded applications, it has a proven track record of a robust, scalable and efficient system. It is widely used for commercial applications as well as in research and education. This book edition contains the core reference documentation of SICStus Prolog release 4.3.0. SICStus Prolog complies with the ISO Prolog standard, IPv4, IPv6, and Unicode 5.0. It is interoperable with C, C++, .NET, Java, Tcl/Tk, Berkeley DB, ODBC, XML, MiniZinc, and more. It ships with a comprehensive library of modules for abstract data types, program development, operating system and file system access, processes, sockets, constraint solvers, and more. SICStus Prolog compiles to a virtual machine (WAM), emulated by efficient C code and compiled just-in-time to native code for x86-based platforms. Tools provide deployment to stand-alone, all-in-one-file, and embedded applications. The Eclipse-based development environment SPIDER provides semantics-aware editing support, static analysis tools, source-linked debugging, tracking variable bindings, profiling, code coverage, backtraces, call hierarchies, and more.
