Abstract. We introduce the first substantial approach to preprocessing in the context of answer set solving. The idea is to simplify a logic program while identifying equivalences ...
Abstract. Searching objects within a catalog is a problem of increasing importance, as the general public has access to increasing volumes of data. Constraint programming has addre...
Abstract. We propose a generic type system for the Constraint Handling Rules (CHR), a rewriting rule language for implementing constraint solvers. CHR being a high-level extension ...
The extended answer set semantics for logic programs allows for the defeat of rules to resolve contradictions. We propose a refinement of these semantics based on a preference rel...

We describe the Consistency Extractor System (ConsEx) that computes consistent answers to Datalog queries with negation posed to relational databases that may be inconsistent with...
