Thus, we propose a 2-step novel method: (i) the sentence to be satisfied is automatically translated into an equisatisfiable sentence over a ``lifted'' vocabulary that allows domain compression; (ii) satisfiability of the lifted sentence is checked by growing the (initially unknown) compressed domain until a satisfying structure is found.

We study this class of problems in a context where some of the relevant information about the environment is not known by the user at the start of the search.

Justification theory is a general framework for the definition of semantics of rule-based languages that has a high explanatory potential.

To avoid nonsensical sentences in this formalism, we refine the concept of well-formed sentences, and propose a method to verify well-formedness with a complexity that is linear with the number of tokens in the formula.

In 1999, the seminal papers on answer set programming proposed to use this logic for a different purpose, namely, to model and solve search problems.

The knowledge base paradigm aims to express domain knowledge in a rich formal language, and to use this domain knowledge as a knowledge base to solve various problems and tasks that arise in the domain by applying multiple forms of inference.

A large part of the use of knowledge base systems is the interpretation of the output by the end-users and the interaction with these users.
