Answer Set Programming (ASP) is one of the major declarative programming paradigms in the area of logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning. Despite that ASP features a simple syntax and an intuitive semantics, errors are common during…
The paper presents an enhancement of xASP, a system that generates explanation graphs for Answer Set Programming (ASP). Different from xASP, the new system, xASP2, supports different clingo constructs like the choice rules, the constraints,…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a powerful tool for solving real-world problems. However, many problems involve numeric values and complex constraints beyond the capabilities of standard ASP solvers. Hybrid solvers like CLINGCON and…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a powerful logic-based programming language, which is enjoying increasing interest within the scientific community and (very recently) in industry. The evaluation of ASP programs is traditionally carried out…
In this paper we present a dependency graph-based method for computing the various semantics of normal logic programs. Our method employs \textit{conjunction nodes} to unambiguously represent the dependency graph of normal logic programs.…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) solvers are highly-tuned and complex procedures that implicitly solve the consistency problem, i.e., deciding whether a logic program admits an answer set. Verifying whether a claimed answer set is formally a…
The coupled simulations of dynamic interactions between the well, hydraulic fractures and reservoir have significant importance in some areas of petroleum reservoir engineering. Several approaches to the problem of coupling between the…
Inverse problems consist of recovering a signal from a collection of noisy measurements. These problems can often be cast as feasibility problems; however, additional regularization is typically necessary to ensure accurate and stable…
We propose a formal model of distributed computing based on register automata that captures a broad class of synchronous network algorithms. The local memory of each process is represented by a finite-state controller and a fixed number of…
Local fixpoint iteration describes a technique that restricts fixpoint iteration in function spaces to needed arguments only. It has been studied well for first-order functions in abstract interpretation and also in model checking. Here we…
This paper is concerned with the approximation of solutions to a class of second order non linear abstract differential equations. The finite-dimensional approximate solutions of the given system are built with the aid of the projection…
We examine the practicality for a user of using Answer Set Programming (ASP) for representing logical formalisms. Our example is a formalism aiming at capturing causal explanations from causal information. We show the naturalness and…
Extended multi-adjoint logic programming arises as an extension of multi-adjoint normal logic programming where constraints and a special type of aggregator operator have been included. The use of this general aggregator operator permits to…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a declarative programming paradigm based on logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning. It is a tremendously powerful tool for describing and solving combinatorial problems. Like any other language, ASP…
In the last years, abstract argumentation has met with great success in AI, since it has served to capture several non-monotonic logics for AI. Relations between argumentation framework (AF) semantics and logic programming ones are…
Judgment aggregation is a framework to aggregate individual opinions on multiple, logically connected issues into a collective outcome. These opinions are cast by judges, which can be for example referees, experts, advisors or jurors,…
Modern scientific software stacks have become extremely complex, using many programming models and libraries to exploit a growing variety of GPUs and accelerators. Package managers can mitigate this complexity using dependency solvers, but…
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a popular declarative reasoning and problem solving approach in symbolic AI. Its rule-based formalism makes it inherently attractive for explainable and interpretive reasoning, which is gaining importance…
{log} ('setlog') is a satisfiability solver for formulas of the theory of finite sets and finite set relation algebra (FSTRA). As such, it can be used as an automated theorem prover (ATP) for this theory. {log} is able to automatically…
In this paper we consider Epistemic Logic Programs, which extend Answer Set Programming (ASP) with "epistemic operators" and "epistemic negation", and a recent approach to the semantics of such programs in terms of World Views. We propose…
