Computing Circumscriptive Models by means of Answer Set Programming
Toshiko Wakaki (Shibaura Inst. of Tech.), Katsumi Inoue (NII)
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In computing circumscription by logic programming, circumscription is
usually transformed into some target logic program whose answer sets
yield the Herbrand models of circumscription. In this paper, we propose
a new method of computing models of prioritized circumscription in answer set programming, which is correct and more efficient than previous approaches. The basic idea of our approach is to transform a given circumscription into a general extended disjunctive program whose answer sets (if exist) yield strictly preferred models to a given candidate
model with respect to the preorder $\leq^{P^{1}> \cdots>P^{k};Z}$.
Hence its inconsistency enables us to determine models of prioritized
circumscription. We also show the soundness and completeness theorems
for our method. Based on our new method, a circumscriptive model
generator has already been implemented, and the preliminary experimental results are encouraging.
