We here develop an ASP-based approach to curriculum-based course timetabling (CB-CTT), one of the most widely studied course timetabling problems. The resulting teaspoon system reads a CB-CTT instance of a standard input format and converts it into a set of ASP facts. In turn, these facts are combined with a first-order encoding for CB-CTT solving, which can subsequently be solved by any off-the-shelf ASP systems. We establish the competitiveness of our approach by empirically contrasting it to the best known bounds obtained so far via dedicated implementations. Furthermore, we extend the teaspoon system to multi-objective course timetabling and consider minimal perturbation problems.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Kaufmann2015, author = {Kaufmann, Benjamin}, title = {High performance answer set solving}, pages = {182}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{GebserKaufmannSchaub2012, author = {Gebser, Martin and Kaufmann, Benjamin and Schaub, Torsten H.}, title = {Conflict-driven answer set solving: From theory to practice}, series = {Artificial intelligence}, volume = {187}, journal = {Artificial intelligence}, number = {8}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0004-3702}, doi = {10.1016/j.artint.2012.04.001}, pages = {52 -- 89}, year = {2012}, abstract = {We introduce an approach to computing answer sets of logic programs, based on concepts successfully applied in Satisfiability (SAT) checking. The idea is to view inferences in Answer Set Programming (ASP) as unit propagation on nogoods. This provides us with a uniform constraint-based framework capturing diverse inferences encountered in ASP solving. Moreover, our approach allows us to apply advanced solving techniques from the area of SAT. As a result, we present the first full-fledged algorithmic framework for native conflict-driven ASP solving.
