Abstract

Nieuwenhuis, Oliveras, and Tinelli showed how to describe enhancements of the Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland algorithm using transition systems, instead of pseudocode. We design a similar framework for three algorithms that generate answer sets for logic programs: smodels , asp-sat with Backtracking, and a newly designed and implemented algorithm sup . This approach to describing answer set solvers makes it easier to prove their correctness, to compare them, and to design new systems.
