Abstract
This paper presents pl-cliquer, a Prolog interface to the cliquer tool for the maximum clique problem. Using pl-cliquer facilitates a programming style that allows logic programs to integrate with other tools such as: Boolean satisfiability solvers, finite domain constraint solvers, and graph isomorphism tools. We illustrate this programming style to solve the Graph Coloring problem, applying a symmetry break that derives from finding a maximum clique in the input graph. We present an experimentation of the resulting Graph Coloring solver on two benchmarks, one from the graph coloring community and the other from the examination timetabling community. The implementation of pl-cliquer consists of two components: A lightweight C interface, connecting cliquer's C library and Prolog, and a Prolog module which loads the library. The complete tool is available as a SWI-Prolog module.

Implementing RPO and POLO using SAT

Abstract
Well-founded orderings are the most basic, but also most important ingredient to virtually all termination analyses. The recursive path order with status (RPO) and polynomial interpretations (POLO) are the two classes that are the most popular in the termination analysis of term rewrite systems. Numerous fully automated search algorithms for these classes have therefore been devised and implemented in termination tools. Unfortunately, the performance of these algorithms on all but the smallest termination problems has been lacking. E.g., recently developed transformations from programming languages like Haskell or Prolog allow to apply termination tools for term rewrite systems to real programming languages. The results of the transformations are often of non-trivial size, though, and cannot be handled efficiently by the existing algorithms. The need for more efficient search algorithms has triggered research in reducing these search problems into decision problems for which more efficient algorithms already exist. Here, we introduce an encoding of RPO and POLO to the satisfiability of propositional logic (SAT). We implemented these encodings in our termination tool AProVE. Extensive experiments have shown that one can obtain speedups in orders of magnitude by this encoding and the application of modern SAT solvers. The talk is based on joint work with Elena Annov, Mike Codish, Carsten Fuhs, Jürgen Giesl, Aart Middeldorp, René Thiemann, and Harald Zankl.
