Advances in WASP

TLDR
An experimental analysis on publicly available benchmarks shows that the new version of wasp outperforms the previous one, and the algorithms and the design choices for addressing several reasoning tasks in ASP.
Abstract
ASP solvers address several reasoning tasks that go beyond the mere computation of answer sets. Among them are cautious reasoning, for modeling query entailment, and optimum answer set computation, for supporting numerical optimization. This paper reports on the recent improvements of the solver wasp, and details the algorithms and the design choices for addressing several reasoning tasks in ASP. An experimental analysis on publicly available benchmarks shows that the new version of wasp outperforms the previous one. Comparing with the state-of-the-art solver clasp, the performance of wasp is competitive in the overall for number of solved instances and average execution time.

The ASP System DLV2

TL;DR: A new Answer Set Programming (ASP) system that combines Open image in new window , a fully-compliant ASP-Core-2 grounder, with the well-assessed solver Open imageIn new window, which outperforms the old Open imagein new window system and is close to the state-of-the-art ASP system.

The Sixth Answer Set Programming Competition

TL;DR: This edition of the Sixth ASP Competition maintained some of the design decisions introduced in 2014, but featured also some novelties, like a benchmark selection stage classifying instances according to their empirical hardness, and a “Marathon” track where the topperforming systems are given more time for solving hard benchmarks.

Grounding and Solving in Answer Set Programming

TL;DR: Key issues in grounding are focused here on how to systematically replace object variables by ground terms in a effective way, and solving, or how to compute the answer sets of a propositional logic program obtained by grounding.

Effective preprocessing in SAT through variable and clause elimination

TL;DR: This work combines variable elimination with subsumption and self-subsuming resolution, and shows that these techniques not only shrink the formula further than previous preprocessing efforts based on variable elimination, but also decrease runtime of SAT solvers substantially for typical industrial SAT problems.
