Workshop Aim: Answer set programming is a successful extension of
logic programming for solving combinatorial problems as well as
knowledge representation and reasoning problems. Most current
implementations of ASP work by grounding a program and using a SAT
solver-like technology to find the answer sets. While this approach is
extremely efficient, relying on grounding of the program leads to
significant blow-up of the program size, and computing the whole model
makes finding justification of an atom in the model hard. This limits
the applicability of ASP to problems dealing with large knowledge
bases. Goal-directed or query-driven execution strategies have been
proposed that do not require grounding. The goal of this workshop is
to foster discussion around challenges and opportunities that such
approaches present.

Tentative list of topics include:

    Non-grounding based implementations of ASP
    Constructive Negation
    Implementation Technology for Goal-directed ASP
    Applications of Goal-directed ASP
    Query-driven Constraint ASP
    System Description
    Tabling in goal-directed ASP Systems
    Coinductive Logic Programming and ASP
