We present a unifying approach to the efļ¬cient evaluation of propositional answer-set programs. Our approach is based on backdoors which are small sets of atoms that represent ā...
There has been considerable interest in the identiļ¬cation of structural properties of combinatorial problems that lead, directly or indirectly, to the development of eļ¬cient al...

In this paper a new approach for computing Strong Backdoor sets of boolean formula in conjunctive normal form (CNF) is proposed. It makes an original use of local search technique...

Cardinality constraints or, more generally, weight constraints are well recognized as an important extension of answer-set programming. Clearly, all common algorithmic tasks relat...
In this work we present the Partner Units Problem as a novel challenge for optimization methods. It captures a certain type of conļ¬guration problem that frequently occurs in indu...
