========================================================================

Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a declarative programming paradigm with
close relationships to neighboring fields such as ATP, CP, FO(.), SAT,
SMT, and others. Since its inception in 2007, the ASP Competition series
strives to evaluate and advance the state of the art in ASP solving
technology. The International Workshop on Practical Aspects of Answer
Set Programming (PAoASP) addresses current developments of systems,
tools, and applications in ASP and neighboring fields. To this end, it
aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of declarative
programming with dedicated focus on, but not limited to, recent methods
and trends emerging from the ASP Competition.

The 1st International Workshop on Practical Aspects of Answer Set
Programming (PAoASP 2017) is organized in conjunction with the 7th
Answer Set Programming Competition (ASPCOMP 2017) and affiliated with
the 14th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic
Reasoning (LPNMR 2017). We solicit the submission of papers on systems,
tools, and applications of declarative programming methods, developed in
the area of ASP and neighboring fields. In particular, we encourage
submissions presenting recent developments, including work in progress.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Algorithm Selection and Configuration
* Applications and Benchmarks
* Empirical Evaluation
* Grounding and Solving
* Implementation Techniques
* Parallel Systems
* Portfolio Systems
* Reasoning Tasks
* Theory Solving
* Translation Methods

Accepted papers will be published within (informal) online proceedings.
Selected submissions will be invited for rapid publication in Theory and
Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP).
