On Admissible Behaviours for Goal-Oriented Decision-Making of Value-Aware Agents
The emerging field of value awareness engineering claims that software agents and systems should be value-aware, i.e. they should be able to explicitly reason about the value-alignment of their actions. Values ar...

Automated Interactive Domain-Specific Conversational Agents that Understand Human Dialogs
We present the AutoConcierge system that can “understand” human dialogs in a specific domain, namely, restaurant recommendation. AutoConcierge will interactively “understand” a user’s utterances, and request t...

Prolog: Past, Present, and Future
We argue that various extensions proposed for Prolog—tabling, constraints, parallelism, coroutining, etc.—must be integrated seamlessly in a single system. We also discuss how goal-directed predicate answer se...

Jury-Trial Story Construction and Analysis Using Goal-Directed Answer Set Programming
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a well known paradigm for knowledge representation and for automating commonsense reasoning. Query-driven implementations of Predicate ASP, e.g., the s(CASP) system, permit top-...

Modeling and Verification of Real-Time Systems with the Event Calculus and s(CASP)
Modeling a cyber-physical system’s requirement specifications makes it possible to verify its properties w.r.t. the expected behavior. Standard modeling approaches based on automata theory model these systems ...

Towards Dynamic Consistency Checking in Goal-Directed Predicate Answer Set Programming
Goal-directed evaluation of Answer Set Programs is gaining traction thanks to its amenability to create AI systems that can, due to the evaluation mechanism used, generate explanations and justifications. s(CA...

Modeling Administrative Discretion Using Goal-Directed Answer Set Programming
Automated legal reasoning and its application in smart contract is getting interest. In this context, ethical and legal concerns make it necessary for automated reasoners to justify in human-understandable terms ...

Modeling and Reasoning in Event Calculus Using Goal-Directed Constraint Answer Set Programming
Automated commonsense reasoning is essential for building human-like AI systems featuring, for example, explainable AI. Event Calculus (EC) is a family of formalisms that model commonsense reasoning with a so...

Incremental Evaluation of Lattice-Based Aggregates in Logic Programming Using Modular TCLP
Aggregates are used to compute single pieces of information from separate data items, such as records in a database or answers to a query to a logic program. The maximum and minimum are well-known examples of ...
