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 any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
