Combining Answer Set Programming and Prolog: The \(\mathbb{ASP{-}PROLOG}\) System

  • Chapter
Logic Programming, Knowledge Representation, and Nonmonotonic Reasoning

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6565))

Abstract

This paper presents a framework for combining Answer Set Programming and Prolog, as developed in the \(\mathbb{ASP{-}PROLOG}\) system. The paper focuses on the development of a model-theoretical account for \(\mathbb{ASP{-}PROLOG}\). It also illustrates the use of \(\mathbb{ASP{-}PROLOG}\) in several practical applications in knowledge representation and reasoning, common-sense reasoning, and planning.
