Overview

In this chapter we will present typical programming concepts in ECLiPSe with example uses in the RiskWise application. These programming concepts each perform one particular operation in an efficient way, and show how these tasks should be programmed in ECLiPSe. They can be adapted to specific tasks by adding additional parameters, changing calls inside the concepts or passing different data structures.

The presentation of the concepts follows the same pattern: We first describe the concept in general terms and then present the parameters required. This is followed by one or several implementations of the concept in ECLiPSe, and some larger examples from the RiskWise code.
