| Shrnutí: | In this survey, we present an overview on (Modal) Temporal Logic Programming in view of its application to Knowledge Representation and Declarative Problem Solving. The syntax of this extension of logic programs is the result of combining usual rules with temporal modal operators, as in
Linear-time Temporal Logic
(LTL). In the paper, we focus on the main recent results of the non-monotonic formalism called
Temporal Equilibrium Logic
(TEL) that is defined for the full syntax of LTL but involves a model selection criterion based on
Equilibrium Logic
, a well known logical characterization of Answer Set Programming (ASP). As a result, we obtain a proper extension of the stable models semantics for the general case of temporal formulas in the syntax of LTL. We recall the basic definitions for TEL and its monotonic basis, the temporal logic of Here-and-There (THT), and study the differences between finite and infinite trace length. We also provide further useful results, such as the translation into other formalisms like Quantified Equilibrium Logic and Second-order LTL, and some techniques for computing temporal stable models based on automata constructions. In the remainder of the paper, we focus on practical aspects, defining a syntactic fragment called
(modal) temporal logic programs
closer to ASP, and explaining how this has been exploited in the construction of the solver
telingo
, a temporal extension of the well-known ASP solver
clingo
that uses its incremental solving capabilities. |
