چکیده

This paper studies compositional semantics of nonmonotonic logic programs. We suppose the answer set semantics of extended disjunctive programs and consider the following problem. Given two programs P1 and P2, which have the sets of answer sets AS(P1) and AS(P2), respectively; find a program Q which has answer sets as minimal sets S∪T for S from AS(P1) and T from AS(P2). The program Q combines answer sets of P1 and P2, and provides a compositional semantics of two programs. Such program composition has application to coordinating knowledge bases in multi-agent environments. We provide methods for computing program composition and discuss their properties.

Towards Practical Deletion Repair of Inconsistent DL-programs

Nonmonotonic Description Logic (DL-) programs couple nonmonotonic logic programs with DL-ontologies through queries in a loose way which may lead to inconsistency, i.e., lack of an answer set. Recently defined repair answer sets remedy this but a straightforward computation method lacks practicality. We present a novel evaluation algorithm for deletion repair answer sets based on support sets, ...

Embedding Description Logic Programs into Default Logic

Description logic programs (dl-programs) under the answer set semantics formulated by Eiter et al. have been considered as a prominent formalism for integrating rules and ontology knowledge bases. A question of interest has been whether dl-programs can be captured in a general formalism of nonmonotonic logic. In this paper, we study the possibility of embedding dl-programs into default logic. W...

Learning by Answer Sets

This paper presents a novel application of answer set programming to concept learning in nonmonotonic logic programs. Given an extended logic program as a background theory, we introduce techniques for inducing new rules using answer sets of the program. The produced new rules explain positive/negative examples in the context of inductive logic programming. The result of this paper combines tec...

Nonmonotonic Description Logic Programs: Implementation and Experiments

The coupling of description logic reasoning systems with other reasoning formalisms (possibly over the Web) is becoming an important research issue and calls for advanced methods and algorithms. Recently, several notions of description logic programs have been introduced, combining rule-based semantics with description logics. Among them are nonmonotonic description logic programs (or dl-progra...

Computing Fuzzy Answer Sets Using dlvhex

Fuzzy answer set programming has been introduced as a framework that successfully combines the concepts of answer set programming and fuzzy logic. In this paper, we show how the fuzzy answer set semantics can be mapped onto the semantics for HEX-programs, which are nonmonotonic logic programs under the answer set semantics that support the use of external function calls. By using the DLVHEX rea...
