Implementing Prioritized Merging with ASP

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 80))

Abstract

The paper addresses the extension of the removed sets framework to prioritized removed sets fusion (PRSF). It discusses the links between PRSF and iterated removed sets revision and shows that PRSF satisfy most of the postulates proposed for prioritized merging. An implementation of this new syntactic prioritized fusion operator is proposed thanks to answer sets programming.
