Recently, ASP has also proved successful for hard optimization problems like course timetabling and travel allotment. In this paper, we approach another important task, namely, the shift design problem, aiming at an alignment of a minimum number of shifts in order to meet required numbers of employees (which typically vary for different time periods) in such a way that over- and understaffing is minimized. We provide an ASP encoding of the shift design problem, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been addressed by ASP yet. Our experimental results demonstrate that ASP is capable of improving the best known solutions to some benchmark problems. Other instances remain challenging and make the shift design problem an interesting benchmark for ASP-based optimization methods.}, language = {en} } @article{BesnardSchaubTompitsetal.2003, author = {Besnard, Philippe and Schaub, Torsten H. and Tompits, Hans and Woltran, Stefan}, title = {Paraconsistent reasoning via quantified boolean formulas : Part II: Circumscribing inconsistent theories}, isbn = {3-540- 409494-5}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{BesnardSchaubTompitsetal.2002, author = {Besnard, Philippe and Schaub, Torsten H. and Tompits, Hans and Woltran, Stefan}, title = {Paraconsistent reasoning via quantified boolean formulas}, isbn = {3-540-44190-5}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @article{DelgrandeSchaubTompitsetal.2001, author = {Delgrande, James Patrick and Schaub, Torsten H. and Tompits, Hans and Woltran, Stefan}, title = {On computing solutions to belief change scenarios}, isbn = {3-540- 42464-4}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{DelgrandeSchaubTompitsetal.2004, author = {Delgrande, James Patrick and Schaub, Torsten H. and Tompits, Hans and Woltran, Stefan}, title = {On Computing belief change operations using quantifield boolean formulas}, issn = {0955-792X}, year = {2004}, abstract = {In this paper, we show how an approach to belief revision and belief contraction can be axiomatized by means of quantified Boolean formulas. Specifically, we consider the approach of belief change scenarios, a general framework that has been introduced for expressing different forms of belief change. The essential idea is that for a belief change scenario (K, R, C), the set of formulas K, representing the knowledge base, is modified so that the sets of formulas R and C are respectively true in, and consistent with the result. By restricting the form of a belief change scenario, one obtains specific belief change operators including belief revision, contraction, update, and merging. For both the general approach and for specific operators, we give a quantified Boolean formula such that satisfying truth assignments to the free variables correspond to belief change extensions in the original approach. Hence, we reduce the problem of determining the results of a belief change operation to that of satisfiability. This approach has several benefits. First, it furnishes an axiomatic specification of belief change with respect to belief change scenarios. This then leads to further insight into the belief change framework. Second, this axiomatization allows us to identify strict complexity bounds for the considered reasoning tasks. Third, we have implemented these different forms of belief change by means of existing solvers for quantified Boolean formulas. As well, it appears that this approach may be straightforwardly applied to other specific approaches to belief change}, language = {en} } @article{LinkeTompitsWoltran2004, author = {Linke, Thomas and Tompits, Hans and Woltran, Stefan}, title = {On Acyclic and head-cycle free nested logic programs}, isbn = {3-540-22671-01}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{LinkeTompitsWoltran2004, author = {Linke, Thomas and Tompits, Hans and Woltran, Stefan}, title = {On acyclic and head-cycle free nested logic programs}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @misc{LifschitzSchaubWoltran2018, author = {Lifschitz, Vladimir and Schaub, Torsten H. and Woltran, Stefan}, title = {Interview with Vladimir Lifschitz}, series = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, volume = {32}, journal = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, number = {2-3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {0933-1875}, doi = {10.1007/s13218-018-0552-x}, pages = {213 -- 218}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This interview with Vladimir Lifschitz was conducted by Torsten Schaub at the University of Texas at Austin in August 2017.
