Workshop on trends and applications of answer set programming

Answer set programming (ASP) is a widely used declarative programmingparadigm based on the stable-model semantics. Over the years,the formalism has been extended with new language elements, advanced evaluationtechniques have been developed, and efficient and expressive systemshave been realized. These advancements turned ASP into a rich modelinglanguage which was successfully applied to various tasks in artificialintelligence and beyond, including combinatorial problems andknowledge-intense tasks. Driven by the needs of applications,ongoing research in the field comprises, for instance, the integrationwith other paradigms (such as constraint programming), distributed computation,temporal and stream reasoning. These developments aim at the ultimate goal ofequipping ASP with the features needed for realizing modern information systems.This workshop focuses on recent trends in the area of ASP,including novel techniques for the evaluation of ASP programs,extensions of the formalism, integration with other formalisms,advancements of systems, and benchmark suites. Furthermore, discussions ofapplications of ASP and its extensions in AI and industry are welcome.
