| Abstract |
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is an emerging declarative programming
paradigm for difficult combinatorial search problems. Over the years,
several extensions to the syntax of ASP programs have been introduced
to increase the expressiveness of the language. However, in many cases
the extensions are very different from each other, and it is not
possible to use many of the new constructs in the same ASP program.
Moreover, studying properties of programs such as equivalence between
programs has become more difficult. We will show that those extensions
are actually compatible to each other, because it is possible to
consider them as a special case of a very general formalism.
