    Abstract

    In this paper, a new technique for the optimization of (partially) bound
    queries over disjunctive Datalog programs with stratified negation is
    presented. The technique exploits the propagation of query bindings and extends
    the Magic Set (MS) optimization technique.

  2. Disjunctive ASP with Functions: Decidable Queries and Effective Computation.

    Abstract

    Querying over disjunctive ASP with functions is a highly undecidable task in
    general. In this paper we focus on disjunctive logic programs with stratified
    negation and functions under the stable model semantics (ASP^{fs}). We show
    that query answering in this setting is decidable, if the query is finitely
    recursive (ASP^{fs}_{fr}). Our proof yields also an effective method for query
    evaluation. It is done by extending the magic set technique to ASP^{fs}_{fr}.
    We show that the magic-set rewritten program is query equivalent to the
    original one (under both brave and cautious reasoning).
