Logic programs are a powerful approach for solving NP-Hard problems. However, due to their declarative nature, debugging logic programs poses significant challenges. Unlike procedural paradigms, which allow for step-by-step inspection of…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a well-known problem solving approach based on nonmonotonic logic programs. HEX-programs extend ASP with external atoms for accessing arbitrary external information, which can introduce values that do not…
We propose Answer Set Programming (ASP) as an approach for modeling and solving problems from the area of Declarative Process Mining (DPM). We consider here three classical problems, namely, Log Generation, Conformance Checking, and Query…
Answer set programming (ASP) is a well-established knowledge representation formalism. Most ASP solvers are based on (extensions of) technology from Boolean satisfiability solving. While these solvers have shown to be very successful in…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches to problem-solving and decision-making are becoming more and more complex, leading to a decrease in the understandability of solutions. The European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation…
