ASP Solving and Other Computing Paradigms

Torsten Schaub, University of Potsdam, Germany.

Abstract: Answer Set Programming (ASP) is on the verge of leaving the academic ivory tower and becoming an interesting alternative to established declarative solving paradigms in many application areas. This is due to its appealing combination of a highly expressive yet simple modeling language with high performance solving technology. Nonetheless certain applications require extensions or even an integration with other computing paradigms in order to be successfully solved. We discuss some of these extensions to ASP and elaborate upon the resulting systems available from potassco.sourceforge.net.
