Abstract
During the workshop, we deeply discussed what CONversational Information ACcess (CONIAC) is and its unique features, proposing a world model abstracting it, and defined the Conversational Agents Framework for Evaluation (CAFE) for the evaluation of CONIAC systems, consisting of six major components: 1) goals of the system’s stakeholders, 2) user tasks to be studied in the evaluation, 3) aspects of the users carrying out the tasks, 4) evaluation criteria to be considered, 5) evaluation methodology to be applied, and 6) measures for the quantitative criteria chosen.

Movement in Low Gravity (MoLo) – LUNA: Biomechanical Modelling to Mitigate Lunar Surface Operation Risks

Authors: David Andrew Green

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)

Abstract
The Artemis programme seeks to develop and test concepts, hardware and approaches to support long term habitation of the Lunar surface, and future missions to Mars. In preparation for the Artemis missions determination of tasks to be performed, the functional requirements of such tasks and as mission duration extends whether physiological deconditioning becomes functionally significant, compromising the crew member’s ability to perform critical tasks on the surface, and/or upon return to earth [MoLo-LUNA – leveraging the Molo programme (and several other activities) - could become a key supporting activity for LUNA incl. validation of the Puppeteer offloading system itself via creation of a complementary MoLo-LUNA-LAB. Furthermore, the MoLo-LUNA programme could become a key facilitator of simulator suit instrumentation/definition, broader astronaut training activities and mission architecture development – including Artemis mission simulations. By employing a Puppeteer system external to the LUNA chamber hall it will optimise utilisation and cost-effectiveness of LUNA, and as such represents a critical service to future LUNA stakeholders. Furthermore, MoLo-LUNA would generate a unique data set that can be leveraged to predict de-conditioning on the Lunar surface - and thereby optimise functionality, and minimise mission risk – including informing the need for, and prescription of exercise countermeasures on the Lunar Surface and in transit. Thus, MoLo-LUNA offers a unique opportunity to place LUNA, and ESA as a key ongoing provider of evidence to define, optimise and support crew Artemis surface missions.

Model Checking as Program Verification by Abstract Interpretation

Authors: Paolo Baldan, Roberto Bruni, Francesco Ranzato, and Diletta Rigo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Abstract interpretation offers a powerful toolset for static analysis, tackling precision, complexity and state-explosion issues. In the literature, state partitioning abstractions based on (bi)simulation and property-preserving state relations have been successfully applied to abstract model checking. Here, we pursue a different track in which model checking is seen as an instance of program verification. To this purpose, we introduce a suitable language - called MOKA (for MOdel checking as abstract interpretation of 𝖪leene 𝖠lgebras) - which is used to encode temporal formulae as programs. In particular, we show that (universal fragments of) temporal logics, such as ACTL or, more generally, universal μ-calculus can be transformed into MOKA programs. Such programs return all and only the initial states which violate the formula. By applying abstract interpretation to MOKA programs, we pave the way for reusing more general abstractions than partitions as well as for tuning the precision of the abstraction to remove or avoid false alarms. We show how to perform model checking via a program logic that combines under-approximation and abstract interpretation analysis to avoid false alarms. The notion of locally complete abstraction is used to dynamically improve the analysis precision via counterexample-guided domain refinement.

Breaking Symmetries with Involutions

Authors: Michael Codish and Mikoláš Janota

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 340, 31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2025)

Abstract
Symmetry breaking for graphs and other combinatorial objects is notoriously hard. On the one hand, complete symmetry breaks are exponential in size. On the other hand, current, state-of-the-art, partial symmetry breaks are often considered too weak to be of practical use. Recently, the concept of graph patterns has been introduced and provides a concise representation for (large) sets of non-canonical graphs, i.e. graphs that are not lex-leaders and can be excluded from search. In particular, four (specific) graph patterns apply to identify about 3/4 of the set of all non-canonical graphs. Taking this approach further, we discover that graph patterns that derive from permutations that are involutions play an important role in the construction of symmetry breaks for graphs. We take advantage of this to guide the construction of partial and complete symmetry-breaking constraints based on graph patterns. The resulting constraints are small in size and strong in the number of symmetries they break.

Simple Types for Probabilistic Termination

Authors: Willem Heijltjes and Georgina Majury

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)

Abstract
We present a new typing discipline to guarantee the probability of termination in probabilistic lambda-calculi. The main contribution is a particular naturality and simplicity: our probabilistic types are as simple types, but generated from probabilities as base types, representing a least probability of termination. Simple types are recovered by restricting probabilities to one. Our vehicle is the Probabilistic Event Lambda-Calculus by Dal Lago, Guerrieri, and Heijltjes, which presents a solution to the issue of confluence in probabilistic lambda-calculi. Our probabilistic type system provides an alternative solution to that using counting quantifiers by Antonelli, Dal Lago, and Pistone, for the same calculus. The problem that both type systems address is to give a lower bound on the probability that terms head-normalize. Following the recent Functional Machine Calculus by Heijltjes, our development takes the (simplified) Krivine machine as primary, and proceeds via an extension of the calculus with sequential composition and identity on the machine. Our type system then gives a natural account of termination probability on the Krivine machine, reflected back onto head-normalization for the original calculus. In this way we are able to avoid the use of counting quantifiers, while improving on the termination bounds given by Antonelli, Dal Lago, and Pistone.

Multi-Criteria Optimization in Answer Set Programming

Authors: Martin Gebser, Roland Kaminski, Benjamin Kaufmann, and Torsten Schaub

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)

Abstract
We elaborate upon new strategies and heuristics for solving multi-criteria optimization problems via Answer Set Programming (ASP). In particular, we conceive a new solving algorithm, based on conflictdriven learning, allowing for non-uniform descents during optimization. We apply these techniques to solve realistic Linux package configuration problems. To this end, we describe the Linux package configuration tool aspcud and compare its performance with systems pursuing alternative approaches.

Evolution of Ontologies using ASP

Authors: Max Ostrowski, Giorgos Flouris, Torsten Schaub, and Grigoris Antoniou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)

Abstract
RDF/S ontologies are often used in e-science to express domain knowledge regarding the respective field of investigation (e.g., cultural informatics, bioinformatics etc). Such ontologies need to change often to reflect the latest scientific understanding on the domain at hand, and are usually associated with constraints expressed using various declarative formalisms to express domain-specific requirements, such as cardinality or acyclicity constraints. Addressing the evolution of ontologies in the presence of ontological constraints imposes extra difficulties, because it forces us to respect the associated constraints during evolution. While these issues were addressed in previous work, this is the first work to examine how ASP techniques can be applied to model and implement the evolution process. ASP was chosen for its advantages in terms of a principled, rather than ad hoc implementation, its modularity and flexibility, and for being a state-of-the-art technique to tackle hard combinatorial problems. In particular, our approach consists in providing a general translation of the problem into ASP, thereby reducing it to an instance of an ASP program that can be solved by an ASP solver. Our experiments are promising, even for large ontologies, and also show that the scalability of the approach depends on the morphology of the input.

Modelling Grammar Constraints with Answer Set Programming

Authors: Christian Drescher and Toby Walsh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)

Abstract
Representing and solving constraint satisfaction problems is one of the challenges of artificial intelligence. In this paper, we present answer set programming (ASP) models for an important and very general class of constraints, including all constraints specified via grammars or automata that recognise some formal language. We argue that our techniques are effective and efficient, e.g., unit-propagation of an ASP solver can achieve domain consistency on the original constraint. Experiments demonstrate computational impact.

Hybrid ASP

Authors: Alex Brik and Jeffrey B. Remmel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)

Abstract
This paper introduces an extension of Answer Set Programming (ASP) called Hybrid ASP which will allow the user to reason about dynamical systems that exhibit both discrete and continuous aspects. The unique feature of Hybrid ASP is that it allows the use of ASP type rules as controls for when to apply algorithms to advance the system to the next position. That is, if the prerequisites of a rule are satisfied and the constraints of the rule are not violated, then the algorithm associated with the rule is invoked.

Representing the Language of the Causal Calculator in Answer Set Programming

Authors: Michael Casolary and Joohyung Lee

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)

Abstract
Action language C+, a formalism based on nonmonotonic causal logic, was designed for describing properties of actions. The definite fragment of C+ was implemented in system the Causal Calculator (CCalc), based on a reduction of nonmonotonic causal logic to propositional logic. On the other hand, in this paper, we represent the language of CCalc in answer set programming (ASP), by translating nonmonotonic causal logic into formulas under the stable model semantics. We design a standard library which describes the constructs of the input language of CCalc in terms of ASP, allowing a simple modular method to represent CCalc input programs in the language of ASP. Using the combination of system f2lp and answer set solvers, our prototype implementation of this approach, which we call Cplus2ASP, achieves functionality close to CCalc while taking advantage of answer set solvers to yield efficient computation that is orders of magnitude faster than CCalc on several benchmark examples.

Static Type Checking for the Q Functional Language in Prolog

Authors: Zsolt Zombori, János Csorba, and Péter Szeredi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)

Abstract
We describe an application of Prolog: a type checking tool for the Q functional language. Q is a terse vector processing language, a descendant of APL, which is getting more and more popular, especially in financial applications. Q is a dynamically typed language, much like Prolog. Extending Q with static typing improves both the readability of programs and programmer productivity, as type errors are discovered by the tool at compile time, rather than through debugging the program execution. We designed a type description syntax for Q and implemented a parser for both the Q language and its type extension. We then implemented a type checking algorithm using constraints. As most built-in function names of Q are overloaded, i.e. their meaning depends on the argument types, a quite complex system of constraints had to be implemented. Prolog proved to be an ideal implementation language for the task at hand. We used Definite Clause Grammars for parsing and Constraint Handling Rules for the type checking algorithm. In the paper we describe the main problems solved and the experiences gained in the development of the type checking tool.
