Answer Set Programming is a well-established paradigm of declarative programming in close relationship with other declarative formalisms such as SAT Modulo Theories, Constraint Handling Rules, PDDL and many others. Since its first informal editions, ASP systems are compared in the nowadays customary ASP Competition. The fourth ASP Competition, held in 2012/2013, is the sequel to previous editions and it was jointly organized by University of Calabria (Italy) and the Vienna University of Technology (Austria). Participants competed on a selected collection of benchmark problems, taken from a variety of research areas and real world applications. The Competition featured two tracks: the Model& Solve Track, held on an open problem encoding, on an open language basis, and open to any kind of system based on a declarative specification paradigm; and the System Track, held on the basis of fixed, public problem encodings, written in a standard ASP language.
We develop a fully algorithmic approach to "taming" logics expressed Hilbert style, that is, reformulating them in terms of analytic sequent calculi and useful semantics. Our approach applies to Hilbert calculi extending the positive fragment of propositional classical logic with axioms of a certain general form that contain new unary connectives. Our work encompasses various results already obtained for specific logics. It can be applied to new logics, as well as to known logics for which an analytic calculus or a useful semantics has so far not been available. A Prolog implementation of the method is described.
Abstract. Hypersequent and labelled calculi are often viewed as antagonist formalisms to define cut-free calculi for non-classical logics. We focus on the class of intermediate logics to investigate the methods of turning Hilbert axioms into hypersequent rules and frame conditions into labelled rules. We show that these methods are closely related and we extend them to capture larger classes of intermediate logics.
Abstract. We provide general conditions on hypersequent calculi that guarantee standard completeness for the formalized logics. These conditions are implemented in the PROLOG system AxiomCalc that takes as input any suitable axiomatic extension of Monoidal T-norm Logic MTL and outputs a hypersequent calculus for the logic and the result of the check. Our approach subsumes many existing results and allows for the computerized discovery of new fuzzy logics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
