Publications about SWI-Prolog

Most of the time I managed to stick with writing code and documentation. At rare weak moments I am pursuaded to write articles about aspects of SWI-Prolog or its libraries. If you use SWI-Prolog and write academic publications, please consider citing one of these papers. The TPLP paper SWI-Prolog is the preferred `general purpose reference' BibTeX.
