A lemma on closures and its application to modularity in logic programming semantics.

TL;DR: This note points out a lemma on closures of monotonic increasing functions and shows how it is applicable to decomposition and modularity for semantics defined as the least fixedpoint of somemonotonic function.

Introduction to the Collection of Papers Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of TPLP

TL;DR: This celebratory collection of papers is hoped and expect it will prove to be a demonstration of the vitality of logic programming, and of a broad range of research directions it spawned in the past and continues to generate today.
Journal ArticleDOI

Separability of Polyhedra for Optimal Filtering of Spatial and Constraint Data

TL;DR: The key notion of separability classification is introduced and study, which is a general tool potentially useful in many applications of a computational geometry flavor and is best suited to applications in which the spatial data is relatively static, some directions are more dominant than others, and the dimension of the space is not high.

Rewriting general conjunctive queries using views

TL;DR: This method finds strictly more rewritings than the MiniCon and the Shared-Variable-Bucket algorithms and tends to be more efficient when the built-in predicates of the query involve only distinguished variables.

Defeasible Reasoning via Datalog$^\neg$

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of compiling defeasible theories to Datalog$^ eg$ programs is addressed, and the correctness of this compilation is proved for the defeasy logic $DL(\partial_{||})$ but the techniques used apply to many other defeasibly logics.
