Management Summary 1.1 JTC1/SC22/WG17 Statement of Scope Development and maintenance of ISO/IEC standards related to programming language Prolog 1.2 Project Report 1.2.1 Completed Projects ISO/IEC 13211-2. Programming language Prolog-part 2 Modules 1.2.2 Projects Underway Consideration of proposed drafts on Definite clause grammar, and global variables and arrays. Review of technical corrigenda to ISO/IEC 13211. 1.2.3 Canceled Projects None 1.3 Cooperation and Competition 2. Period Review 2.1 Market Requirements Prolog is a niche language. It is extensively used by a small number of users mainly for applications in configuration, web and CGI generation, constraint handling and natural language. It is taught in a significant number of universities. 2.2 Achievements A draft of a Technical report on Definite Clause Grammars was approved in 2006. It is hoped to ballot the final version by the end of 2007. Paulo Moura is the editor. Roger Scowen submitted in a set of defect reports and corrigenda a first part was successfully balloted in 2006. The second set is to be discussed at the WG17 meeting in Oporto with a ballot to follow. 2.3 Resources WG17 meets as needed, usually once a year, and works by electronic correspondence between meetings. Four countries are regular participants in meetings: Germany, Japan, the UK, and the USA. More recently Hungary, Portugal and Spain have participated. 3. Focus Next Work Period Completion of the TR on DCGs Completion of the TCs. Further consideration of the Japanese proposal on globals and arrays. 3.1 Deliverables Paulo Moura. Draft document on Threads in ISO Prolog N191 Roger Scowen. Defect Reports and Corrigenda for ISO/IEC 13211-1 N192 3.2 Strategies To proceed by producing a number of TR's on topics deemed of interest to the Prolog community. 3.2.1 Risks WG17 has suffered from a decline in interest in supporting standardization efforts, however holding meetings in conjunction with the ICLP meetings has proved to be effective in increasing participation. 3.2.2 Opportunities Portugal has taken a more active role in Prolog standardization. Locating the 2005 meeting with ICLP in Sitges was a success. The 2006 meeting was colocated with FLoC (which includes ICLP) in Seattle and was well attended. The 2007 meeting will be in Oporto, Portugal colocated with ICLP. 3.3 Work Program Priorities The current priorities are the completion of the technical report on DCGs . There are also a number of issues with defects in part 1 that need to be resolved. Further work on globals and arrays is underway. A discussion of threads has begun on an informal basis. 4. Other Items This section includes items that are part of the Convener's Report, but not part of the business plan. Holding the meetings colocated with ICLP (the International conference Logic Programming) seems to be effective in increasing participation. 4.1 Action Requests at the Forthcoming Plenary None 4.2 Schedule A schedule for additional work was set at the meeting in Seattle. This included: Resolution of the comments on the Draft TR on DCG's Further discussion of corrigenda to part 1.
