SICStus Prolog Customer References
Customers of SICStus Prolog have proven its efficiency
for large amounts of data and large applications. SICStus Prolog
is used in a wide range of domains from medicine research
to data mining of financial data. Some of the applications are
briefly presented below.

Speech applications: NASA
Clarissa,
a fully voice-operated procedure browser has been developed
by the NASA Intelligent Systems Division.
On the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts execute thousands
of complex procedures to maintain life support systems, check out
space suits and conduct science experiments, among their many tasks.
Today, when carrying out these procedures, an astronaut usually reads
from a PDF viewer on a laptop computer, which requires them to shift
attention from the task to scroll pages. Clarissa enables astronauts
to be more efficient and to give full attention to the task while they
navigate through complex procedures using spoken commands.
Clarissa has been implemented mainly using SICStus Prolog and a speech
recognition toolkit provided by Nuance Communications.
Application-specific spoken command grammars were constructed using
the SICStus Prolog based Regulus
platform.

Telecom: Ericsson AB
Ericsson Network Resource Manager (NRM) provides the capabilities for
configuring and managing complex multi vendor IP Backbone
networks. NRM assists the operator in making decisions when planning,
configuring and making configuration changes.
The modelling part of the NRM software, an expert tool assisting the
network operator, is implemented in SICStus Prolog. The constructed
network model, created by analyzing the actual router configurations,
is used both for showing a graphical representation and for
validating the network.

Biotech: Pyrosequencing AB
SICS developed a dispensation order generation algorithm for
Pyrosequencing's sequence analysis instruments, using
constraint programming with SICStus.
The algorithm can be described as a compiler, which calculates an
instruction sequence based on an input specification.
Applications include genetics, drug discovery, microbiology, SNP and
mutation analysis, forensic identification using mtDNA,
pharmacogenomics, and bacterial and viral typing.

Logistics: RedPrairie
The US-based RedPrairie Corporation, a leading provider of real-time
logistics solutions, has introduced a real-time optimization engine,
COPLEX, "... capable of managing a continuous flow of changes in
orders, capacities and constraints dynamically, adjusting optimal
consolidation solutions in real-time to achieve a quantum leap in cost
savings for customers." The kernel of the engine is written in
SICStus Prolog using its finite domain constraint solver library.

Data Mining: Compumine
Compumine AB's data mining software Rule Discovery System™ (RDS™)
was implemented in SICStus Prolog. RDS™ is a powerful tool for
generation of reliable, accurate, and interpretable rule based
prediction models by automatically searching databases for significant
patterns and relationships. RDS™ has been successfully applied to
problems in a large number of data intensive areas such as pharmaceutical
research, language technology, and engineering.
