Abstract

ASPDA is a framework for expressing defeasibility in Answer Set Programs via so-called argumentation theories, proposed by Wan, Kifer, and Grosof in [2]. The authors describe a reduction from ASPDA to plain Answer Set Programming, which however exponentially inflate programs. In this note, we present an alternative reduction, which does not suffer from this problem. As a side-effect, complexity results for ASPDA are established.
