This has been a much studied relationship, and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). The relationship ofASPto 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 ofASPalso 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 ofASPwith 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 regardingASPis available and several efficientASPsolvers have been implemented. However, there are still significant challenges in applyingASPto real life applications, and more interest in relatingASPto other computing paradigms is emerging. This workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): -ASPand classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). -ASPand constraint programming. -ASPand other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). -ASPand other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. -ASPand external means of computation. -ASPand probabilistic reasoning. -ASPand knowledge compilation. -ASPand machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions toASP. -ASPand multi-agent systems. -ASPand multi-context systems. - Modularity andASP. -ASPand argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involvingASP. - Evaluation and comparison ofASPto other paradigms. -ASPand related paradigms in applications. - HybridizingASPwith procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS The workshop invites two types of submissions: - original papers describing original research. - non-original paper already published on formal proceedings or journals. Original papers must not exceed 13 pages (excluding references) and must be formatted using the 1-column CEURART style availablehere <https://drive.google.com/file/d/15jC34VXDf8GUMMpobnvaAaX0R4RSQ18v/view?usp=share_link>. A ready-to-clone overleaf project containing a 1-column CEURART style is availablehere <https://www.overleaf.com/read/cqxqwrgjccwk#deb4a7>. Authors are requested to clearly specify whether their submission is original or not with a footnote on the first page. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system at the link:https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aspocp2024 <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aspocp2024>. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission deadline: 08 August 2024 Paper submission deadline: 15 August 2024 Notification: 10 September 2024 PROCEEDINGS Authors of all accepted original contributions can opt to publish their work in formal proceedings. Accepted non-original contributions will be given visibility on the conference web site including a link to the original publication, if already published.
