Prerequisites

iCCalc and mcLUCA have been tested on Ubuntu Linux, and on Mac OS X (Leopard, Snow Leopard), but should also work on many other Unix-like OSs. We are currently developing a Windows version, which will be appearing very shortly.

iCCalc and mcLUCA need two basic pieces of software: a version of Prolog and the SAT-solver clasp.

iCCalc and mcLUCA run under YAP Prolog, SICStus Prolog 4.1.1, and SICStus Prolog 3.12.3. YAP Prolog is freely avaliable, and in our experience is much quicker than SICStus.

The SAT-solver clasp is also freely available. The solver executable should be placed in the 'solvers' directory for iCCalc. We have included clasp in the downloadable files for iCCalcc and mcLUCA.

iCCalc includes the ability to visualize the labelled transition systems defined using C+ as an option. To do this, the graph-drawing suite graphviz is needed. (This can also be obtained from the Ubuntu software centre, or installed using synaptic.) Transition systems are written to a postscript file and opened using a user-defined viewer (default evince).

Installation

The current version of iCCalc is 3.1; the current version of mcLUCA is 1.0. The files for iCCalc are in the archive:

Unzip the archive, and place the script 'iccalc' from the 'scripts' directory somewhere in your PATH. The 'iccalc' script should be edited to point to the right directories; it should be obvious how to do this.

As well as the Prolog source, the download also contains a number of sample domains, with queries, to illustrate how iCCalc and mcLUCA can be used. These are more fully discussed in the tutorial.
