AIMS AND SCOPE<br>
<br>
Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set
Programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various
knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP
was found to be closely related to SAT, which led to a new
method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques
adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship, and
is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories
(SMT). The relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms,
such as constraint satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas
(QBF), Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), first-order logic
(FOL), and FO(ID) is also the subject of active research.
Consequently, new methods of computing answer sets are being
developed based on relationships to these formalisms.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work
on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language
and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area
currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in
the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction
(which recently led to the Constraint Answer Set Programming
(CASP) research direction).<br>
<br>
A large body of general results regarding ASP is available and
several efficient ASP solvers have been implemented. However,
there are still significant challenges in applying ASP to real
life applications, and more interest in relating ASP to other
computing paradigms is emerging. This workshop will provide
opportunities for researchers to identify these challenges and
to exchange ideas for overcoming them.<br>
<br>
TOPICS<br>
<br>
Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):<br>
- ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL).<br>
- ASP and constraint programming.<br>
- ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID).<br>
- ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages.<br>
- ASP and external means of computation.<br>
- ASP and probabilistic reasoning.<br>
- ASP and knowledge compilation.<br>
- ASP and machine learning.<br>
- New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or
systems of other paradigms.<br>
- Language extensions to ASP.<br>
- ASP and multi-agent systems.<br>
- ASP and multi-context systems.<br>
- Modularity and ASP.<br>
- ASP and argumentation.<br>
- Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP.<br>
- Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms.<br>
- ASP and related paradigms in applications.<br>
- Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches.<br>
- Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding.<br>
<br>
<br>
