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.ASPwas 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 ofASPto 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.

  Furthermore, the practical applications ofASPalso 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 ofASPwith description logics (in the realm of the Semantic 
Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint 
Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction).

  A large body of general results regardingASPis available and several 
efficientASPsolvers have been implemented. However, there are still 
significant challenges in applyingASPto real life applications, and more 
interest in relatingASPto other computing paradigms is emerging. This 
  workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these 
challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them.

TOPICS

  Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):
  -ASPand classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL).
  -ASPand constraint programming.
  -ASPand other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID).
  -ASPand other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages.
  -ASPand external means of computation.
  -ASPand probabilistic reasoning.
  -ASPand knowledge compilation.
  -ASPand machine learning.
  - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of 
other paradigms.
  - Language extensions toASP.
  -ASPand multi-agent systems.
  -ASPand multi-context systems.
  - Modularity andASP.
  -ASPand argumentation.
  - Multi-paradigm problem solving involvingASP.
  - Evaluation and comparison ofASPto other paradigms.
  -ASPand related paradigms in applications.
  - HybridizingASPwith procedural approaches.
  - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding.
