We present a recently started research project. The goal of the project is to integrate into one system a number of techniques, execution mechanisms and development tools that were designed in various areas in Logic Programming in the past. Main components are: a strong support for (declarative) knowledge representation, including aspects of incomplete knowledge, first order logic constraints and definitional knowledge; integration of different computational mechanisms, including resolution, abduction, tabling and constraint solving; integration within the development environment of semantics-based development tools, including (source-level) optimization, abstract interpretation based analysis and termination analysis. In developing this new system, we hope to contribute to an effort of semi-automating (part of) the software development process. We plan to experiment with a number of applications to test the system. Main applications in focus are in temporal reasoning, planning and scheduling, and machine learning.
