ASPOCP 2012

5th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms

September 4th, 2012

Collocated with the International Conference on Logic Programming 2012

Budapest, Hungary

September 4-8, 2012

AIMS AND SCOPE

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 has led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most studied relationship which is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL theorem provers, and CLP systems.

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. This workshop will facilitate the discussion about crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving, and applications , in combination with or inspired by other computing paradigms.

TOPICS

Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):

- ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). - ASP and constraint programming. - ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). - ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. - ASP and probabilistic reasoning. - ASP and machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions to ASP. - ASP and multi-agent systems. - ASP and multi-context systems. - Modularity and ASP. - ASP and argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. - Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. - ASP and related paradigms in applications. - Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding.
