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 led to a 
new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted 
from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship, and is currently 
extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). The relationship of 
ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified 
Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), first-order logic 
(FOL), and FO(ID) is also the subject of active research. Consequently, new 
methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on relationships 
to these formalisms.                        

 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) 
and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint Answer Set 
Programming (CASP) research direction).

 A large body of general results regarding ASP is available and several 
efficient ASP solvers have been implemented. However, there are still 
significant challenges in applying ASP to real life applications, and more 
interest in relating ASP to other computing paradigms is emerging. This 
workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these 
challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them.

LOCATION

 The FLoC organizing committee will make all possible effort to ensure 
everyone is able to attend in person. 
 We are, however, very much aware that there might be members of the 
community who cannot travel to Israel and, in cases where travel is not 
possible, we will ensure people can participate remotely.
