All you need to participate is a system able to model using a declarative specification paradigm of any sort, and some manpower for preparing benchmark solutions. Winners are awarded on the basis of their time performance and, for optimization problems, on the basis of the quality of their solutions. Note that we are more interested at comparing systems and their performance on standard problems, rather than measuring the modelling 'trickery' of participants: this is why you will have several months for preparing declarative specifications and your system, so to make affordable the burden of modelling a number of problems, also for small teams. Problem specification can be freely exchanged among participants whenever they use the same input language. * The '''System Track''' is reserved to Answer Set Programming systems, able to cope with a fixed problem specification language. The 4th ASP Competition will be held on an extension of ASP-Core called [[ASPStandardization|ASP-Core-2]].
