Abstract
This document describes a particular facet of an experimental programming model whose design is the objective of our on-going research at MCC — the ε programming environment. ε draws from the most recent theory and technology in typed relational and functional programming. We start by making general observations meant to put our work in context within the research community, and proceed to summarize that particular sublanguage of ε which combines type inheritance and logic programming — a prototype named LOGIN.
This research is being carried out as part of the ε programming language project by the Intelligent Systems Architecture [AN486].
