Abstract
AbstractThe term answer set programming (ASP) was coined by Vladimir Lifschitz to name a new declarative programming paradigm that has its roots in stable model (answer set) semantics of logic programs [16] and implementations of this semantics developed in the late 90’s. When working with the implementations it became evident that they are instantiations of a different programming paradigm [5, 8, 21, 23, 24] than that of standard logic programming. This new ASP paradigm can be characterized as follows. In ASP programs are theories of some formal system with a semantics that assigns to a theory a collection of sets (models) referred to as answer sets of the program. In order to solve a problem using ASP a program is devised such that the solutions of the problem can be retrieved from the answer sets of the program. An ASP solver is a system that takes as input a program and computes answer sets for it.
