Abstract

The advent of ASP has reinvigorated the field of logic programming. ASP has a simple syntax, which from the beginning appealed logic programmers--thanks also to its similarity to Prolog 's syntax. ASP has a well-understood declarative semantics, which can adequately capture non-monotonicity. ASP benefits from good implementations, which guarantee an adequate level of efficiency and reflect the declarative nature of the paradigm--differently from the case of Prolog , where there is a disconnect between declarative semantics and the implementation of its operational semantics.
