Calimeri, Francesco (ed.) et al., Logic programming and nonmonotonic reasoning. 13th international conference, LPNMR 2015, Lexington, KY, USA, September 27–30, 2015. Proceedings. Cham: Springer. Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 9345, 480-487 (2015).
Summary: This paper presents an implementation of a general framework for consistency-based belief change using answer set programming (ASP). We describe Equibel, a software system for working with belief change operations on arbitrary graph topologies. The system has an ASP component that performs a core maximization procedure, and a Python component that performs additional processing on the output of the ASP solver. The Python component also provides an interactive interface that allows users to create a graph, set formulas at nodes, perform belief change operations, and query the resulting graph.
