Modern Datalog: Concepts, Methods, Applications (Invited Paper)

Authors: Markus Krötzsch

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 138, Joint Proceedings of the 20th and 21st Reasoning Web Summer Schools (RW 2024 & RW 2025)

Abstract
Pure Datalog is arguably the most fundamental rule language, elegant and simple, but also often too limited to be useful in practice. This has motivated the introduction of many new expressive features, ranging from datatypes and related functions, over aggregates and semi-ring generalisations, to existential quantifiers and complex terms. In spite of their variety, all these approaches remain true to the nature of Datalog as a direct, pattern-based way of computing on structured data. We therefore find that a modern notion of Datalog is emerging, distinctly different from other approaches of logic programming and with its own set of related methods and applications. In this course, we introduce Datalog and its most common extensions, and explain when and how these features can be used together (which is often, but not always, safe to do). We further look at modern Datalog systems and some of their primary use cases. Hands-on work with Datalog and its extensions is done with the free Datalog engine https://knowsys.github.io/nemo-doc/. The course is accessible to all audiences and does not assume specific prior knowledge.

Abstract Subtyping for Asynchronous Multiparty Sessions

Authors: Laura Bocchi, Andy King, Maurizio Murgia, and Simon Thompson

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

Abstract
Session subtyping answers the question of whether a program in a communicating system can be safely substituted for another, when their communication behaviour is described by session types. Asynchronous session subtyping is undecidable, even for two participants, hence the interest in sound, but incomplete, subtyping algorithms. Asynchronous multiparty subtyping can be formulated by decomposing session types into single input and output types which preclude, respectively, external and internal choice. This paper shows how abstract interpretation can sit atop this approach and how it leads to an algorithm that can prove subtyping for intricate communication patterns.

Modeling and Explaining an Industrial Workforce Allocation and Scheduling Problem

Authors: Ignace Bleukx, Ryma Boumazouza, Tias Guns, Nadine Laage, and Guillaume Poveda

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

Abstract
We present an industrial case on workforce allocation and scheduling in the aircraft manufacturing industry, where available teams need to be assigned to logistical operations. This application presents several challenges such as the scale of the problem, the need for fair workload distribution, and the need for methods for mitigating unforeseen disruptions due to technical malfunctions or incompatible weather conditions. We compare different Constraint Programming (CP) models for the allocation and scheduling problems, with extra focus on modeling the workload balancing component. Additionally, we investigate different techniques for explaining infeasibility of a disrupted schedule, such as conflict computation using Minimal Unsatisfiable Subsets (MUSes) and feasibility restoration using Minimal Correction Subsets (MCSes) or constraint relaxations. Our experimental results show that by using appropriate modeling techniques, the problem can be solved in reasonable time, thereby producing fair schedules. Additionally, we show how invalidated schedules can be explained and restored efficiently to help human operators in solving disruptions to the schedule.

Elements for Weighted Answer-Set Programming

Authors: Francisco Coelho, Bruno Dinis, Dietmar Seipel, and Salvador Abreu

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 135, 14th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2025)

Abstract
Logic programs, more specifically, answer-set programs, can be annotated with probabilities on facts to express uncertainty. We address the problem of propagating weight annotations on facts (e.g. probabilities) of an answer-set program to its stable models, and from there to events (defined as sets of atoms) in a dataset over the program’s domain. We propose a novel approach which is algebraic in the sense that it relies on an equivalence relation over the set of events. Uncertainty is then described as polynomial expressions over variables. We propagate the weight function in the space of models and events, rather than doing so within the syntax of the program. As evidence that our approach is sound, we show that certain facts behave as expected. Our approach allows us to investigate weight annotated programs and to determine how suitable a given one is for modeling a given dataset containing events. It’s core is illustrated by a running example and the encoding of a Bayesian network.

A Compositional Typed Higher-Order Logic with Definitions

Authors: Ingmar Dasseville, Matthias van der Hallen, Bart Bogaerts, Gerda Janssens, and Marc Denecker

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 52, Technical Communications of the 32nd International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2016)

Abstract
Expressive KR languages are built by integrating different language constructs, or extending a language with new language constructs. This process is difficult if non-truth-functional or non-monotonic constructs are involved. What is needed is a compositional principle. This paper presents a compositional principle for defining logics by modular composition of logical constructs, and applies it to build a higher order logic integrating typed lambda calculus and rule sets under a well-founded or stable semantics. Logical constructs are formalized as triples of a syntactical rule, a semantical rule, and a typing rule. The paper describes how syntax, typing and semantics of the logic are composed from the set of its language constructs. The base semantical concept is the infon: mappings from structures to values in these structures. Semantical operators of language constructs operate on infons and allow to construct the infons of compound expressions from the infons of its subexpressions. This conforms to Frege's principle of compositionality.

Dedicated Tabling for a Probabilistic Setting

Authors: Theofrastos Mantadelis and Gerda Janssens

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 7, Technical Communications of the 26th International Conference on Logic Programming (2010)

Abstract
ProbLog is a probabilistic framework that extends Prolog with probabilistic facts. To compute the probability of a query, the complete SLD proof tree of the query is collected as a sum of products. ProbLog applies advanced techniques to make this feasible and to assess the correct probability. Tabling is a well-known technique to avoid repeated subcomputations and to terminate loops. We investigate how tabling can be used in ProbLog. The challenge is that we have to reconcile tabling with the advanced ProbLog techniques. While standard tabling collects only the answers for the calls, we do need the SLD proof tree. Finally we discuss how to deal with loops in our probabilistic framework. By avoiding repeated subcomputations, our tabling approach not only improves the execution time of ProbLog programs, but also decreases accordingly the memory consumption. We obtain promising results for ProbLog programs using exact probability inference.
