Answer Set Programming for Continuous Domains: A Fuzzy Logic Approach

"Answer Set Programming for Continuous Domains: A Fuzzy Logic Approach" is a technical book that focuses on the application of Answer Set Programming (ASP) in continuous domains. ASP is a declarative programming language particularly suited for solving combinatorial optimization problems. This book explores the combination of ASP with fuzzy logic to address the challenges encountered in modeling continuous problems. These issues are significant in various fields such as the design of gas and electricity networks, computer vision, and investment portfolio management. The authors, Martine De Cock, Dirk Vermeir, and Steven Schockaert, present innovative approaches to handling over-constrained problems and creating a user-friendly programming language that meets both implementation and theoretical foundation requirements. The book is aimed at professionals and students who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the application of ASP in continuous contexts.
