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.
SUBMISSIONS
The workshop invites two types of submissions:
- original papers describing original research.
- non-original paper already published on formal proceedings or journals.
Original papers must not exceed 13 pages (excluding references) and
must be formatted using the 1-column CEURART style availablehere

is availablehere <https://www.overleaf.com/read/cqxqwrgjccwk#deb4a7>.
Authors are requested to clearly specify whether their submission is
original or not with a footnote on the first page.
