Pointwise Relational Programming

Abstract:
The point-free relational calculus has been very successful as a language for discussing general programming principles. However, when it comes to specific applications, the calculus can be rather awkward to use: some things are more clearly and simply expressed using variables. The combination of variables and relational combinators such as converse and choice yields a kind of nondeterministic functional programming language. We give a semantics for such a language, and illustrate with an example application.
