Abstract

Although ASP systems have been extended in many directions, they still miss features which may be helpful towards industrial applications, like capabilities of quickly introduce new predefined constructs or to deal with compound data structures and module. We show here an implementation on top of the DLV system of DLP T language, which features increased declarativity, code readability, compactness and reusability.

This work was partially supported by the European Commission under projects IST-2002-33570 INFOMIX, and IST-2001-37004 WASP.
