AIMS AND SCOPE

  Since its introduction in the late 1980s, answer set programming (ASP)
  has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and
  combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to
  SAT, which has led to a method of computing answer sets using SAT
  solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most
  studied relationship which is currently extended towards
  satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other
  computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified
  boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is
  also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer
  sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other
  paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL
  theorem provers, and CLP systems.

  Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on
  multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver
  integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the
  integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the
  Semantic Web), constraint satisfaction, and general means of external
  computation.  This workshop will  facilitate the discussion about
  crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving,
  and applications, in combination with or inspired by other computing
  paradigms.
