Dear Ciao users,
We are considering dropping support for XEmacs (http://www.xemacs.org) in
the next Ciao release and focus only on GNU Emacs (
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/). Please tell us if you are using Ciao
with XEmacs and do not want its support to be discontinued.
Thanks,

Jose
For 1.14 simply add the following to your .emacs file:
(if (file-exists-p "/usr/local/lib/ciao/ciao-mode-init.el")
(load-file "/usr/local/lib/ciao/ciao-mode-init.el")
)
and restart emacs. "M-x ciao" should bring up the top level, .pl files
should open in Ciao/Prolog mode, the source debugger and help should
work, etc.
In the 1.15 installer (development version) we added a message that
gives the correct path. You may want to use this version in any case.
Please let us know if it does not work.
Cheers, --Manuel H

Hello,
I am a student that uses Ciao for work purposes and I would like to share
with you some concerns.
I want to use Ciao with Emacs on a Windows 8 Machine
First, I tried to install this version of Ciao: *CiaoDE-1.13.1-13182*. The
Wizard asked me to install Emacs before but the link you provide is a dead
link. It is almost impossible to find the version of Emacs you ask for (I
got the version* Emacs-22-CvsP070523-EmacsW32-1.54* thanks to the site
Archive.org that saved the contents.
After reminding you of the dead link, I would like to know what and where
is the Emacs version (if with patch or not) you recommend to use with
Ciao.[image:
Images intégrées 2]
I have another question. In your Ciao documentation (your site), to init
Emacs in a Ciao environment, you recommend to modify the .emacs file to add
this line:
* (load <CIAOLIBDIR>/DOTemacs)*. But it's not working and I have this error
in Emacs, loaded in perl mode after.
[image: Images intégrées 3]
Please, can you tell me how to correct that.
Best regards,
Dan Seeruttun--Marie
Student at UPM Madrid
I'm trying to integrate Ciao with Emacs on Mac OSX Yosemite but am
unable to find information on ciao paths on Apple machines. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Due to multiple requests, the SYNASC submission deadline has been extended to June 30 2015.

Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS)
July 19, 2015 · San Francisco, USA
Submission deadlines:
- paper submission: May 22, 2015
- EXTENDED paper submission: May 28, 2015
- paper notification: June 10, 2015
Most Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be
modeled directly using Horn clauses and many recent advances in the
CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving
problems presented as Horn clauses.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the two
communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP) and
Program Verification community (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI) on the
topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification and synthesis.
Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by
these two communities in different times and from different
perspectives and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction
and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn
clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas:
- Analysis and verification of programs in various programming
paradigms (e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic,
higher-order, concurrent)
- Program synthesis
- Program testing
- Program transformation
- Constraint solving
- Type systems
- Case studies and tools
- Challenging problems
We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of
Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit
extended abstracts describing work-in-progress and presentations
covering previously published results that are of interest to the
workshop.
