History
The planning method proposed by Dimopoulos, Nebel and Köhler is an early example of answer set programming. Their approach is based on the relationship between plans and stable models. Soininen and Niemelä applied what is now known as answer set programming to the problem of product configuration. The use of answer set solvers for search was identified as a new programming paradigm by Marek and Truszczyński in a paper that appeared in a 25-year perspective on the logic programming paradigm published in 1999 and in . Indeed, the new terminology of "answer set" instead of "stable model" was first proposed by Lifschitz in a paper appearing in the same retrospective volume as the Marek-Truszczynski paper.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
