Answer Set Programming in a Nutshell
Answer Set Programming (ASP) has become a popular approach to declarative problem solving. More precisely, ASP is a rule-based formalism for modeling and solving knowledge-intense combinatorial (optimization) problems. What makes ASP attractive is its combination of a declarative modeling language with highly effective solving engines. This allows us to concentrate on specifying - rather than programming the algorithm for solving - a problem at hand. Historically, ASP has its roots in deductive databases, logic programming, and non-monotonic reasoning; its solving engines draw on the same technology as solvers for satisfiability testing. Given this origin, ASP is tailored to support closed as well as open world reasoning, which makes it predestined for knowledge representation and reasoning tasks. Interesting applications of ASP can be found in decision support systems, industrial team-building, music composition, natural language processing, product and software configuration, phylogeneticics, robotics, systems biology, timetabling, and many more. The talk will give a gentle introduction to ASP, its logical foundations, modeling capabilities, and solving engines, and conclude with an outlook on the ASP's potential impact as a knowledge-driven AI tool.

| Informal Algorithms in Children
Where does the ability to devise algorithms come from, and on what does it depend? Most cognitive abilities appear to depend on interactions between innate factors and experience. My studies of children, in collaboration with colleagues (Robert Mackiewicz, Sangeet Khemlani, and Phil Johnson-Laird) show that fifth-grade children (10-11 year olds) who have had no experience with programming are nevertheless able to understand informal algorithms and even to devise their own. The domain concerned re-arranging the order of toy cars in a railway train, using a single track and a siding. Such a track allows for powerful algorithms, since both the siding and one side of the track act as places to “store” cars during re-arrangements. These studies led us to three main conclusions. First, children can devise algorithms, even those that are recursive (i.e., they depend on repeated loops of operations), although they are harder than those that are not recursive (i.e., they depend on a short list of operations). The former place a greater load on working memory than the latter. Second, children differ in ability, though there is no reliable difference between boys and girls. Ability is likely to reflect a difference in the processing capacity of working memory (at least partially determined by innate factors). So, for example, when children cannot even touch the cars, their “iconic” gestures of moves help them. When they are prevented from gesturing, their performance is poorer. Third, children (and adults) use kinematic mental simulations to envisage the effects of moves on the railway track.
