GDE 2022: Workshop on Goal-directed Execution of Answer Set Programs

     CALL FOR PAPERS!!                        CALL FOR PAPERS

ICLP’22 Workshop on Goal-directed Execution of Answer Set Programs
ICLP'22 Workshop
Date: August 1, 2022

                          located with
   ICLP'22: 38th International Conference on Logic Programming
                 July 31 - Aug 8, 2022, Haifa, Israel

Workshop Aim: Answer set programming is a successful extension of
logic programming for solving combinatorial problems as well as
knowledge representation and reasoning problems. Most current
implementations of ASP work by grounding a program and using a SAT
solver-like technology to find the answer sets. While this approach is
extremely efficient, relying on grounding of the program leads to
significant blow-up of the program size, and computing the whole model
makes finding justification of an atom in the model hard. This limits
the applicability of ASP to problems dealing with large knowledge
bases. Goal-directed or query-driven execution strategies have been
proposed that do not require grounding. The goal of this workshop is
to foster discussion around challenges and opportunities that such
approaches present.

Tentative list of topics include:

Non-grounding based implementations of ASP
Constructive Negation
Implementation Technology for Goal-directed ASP
Applications of Goal-directed ASP
Query-driven Constraint ASP
System Description
Tabling in goal-directed ASP Systems
Coinductive Logic Programming and ASP
