TopAnswer Set Programming (ASP) is nowadays a well known and well acknowledged paradigm for declarative problem solving as can be seen by many successful applications in the areas of artificial intelligence and knowledge-based reasoning. Solving ground logic programs is, in general, still an intractable problem. Therefore most standard ASP solvers rely on techniques originating in SAT solving or constraint satisfaction problem solving. This project aims at the development of algorithms and corresponding implementations that use methods stemming from parameterized complexity theory (namely treewidth and hypertree width) in order to improve the performance of ASP solving for logic programs with low treewidth.
