''Important'' '''The DLV-EX project has migrated to [[http://www.mat.unical.it/dlv-complex|DLV-Complex]]. DLV-Complex is a very powerful ASP system, which, besides external predicates, explicitly supports (recursive) functions, sets, and lists, along with libraries for their manipulations. ##This page is the main reference for the external-predicate framework and utilities: you will find all necessary tools for developing your own predicates in the [[#download|download]] section. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend to refer to the [[http://www.mat.unical.it/dlv-complex|DLV-Complex]] page for binaries, news and updates.''' If you want, you can still download the last versions of DLV-EX binaries available and some libraries, in the [[#download|download]] section, but please note that the DLV-EX project is no longer maintained, thus no new releases/updates are scheduled in the future. For new releases, other important events and full documentation regarding DLV-COMPLEX please refer to the [[http://www.mat.unical.it/dlv-complex|DLV-Complex]] page.''' |

| DLV-EX is an Answer Set Programming System extending [[http://www.dlvsystem.com|DLV]] by External Predicates, which features a framework aimed at enabling ASP to deal with external sources of computation. This feature is realized by the introduction of “parametric” external predicates, whose extension is not specified by means of a logic program but implicitly computed through external code. It is explicitly addressed the issue of invention of new information coming from external predicates, in form of new, and possibly infinite, constant symbols. | |

Important
The DLV-EX project has migrated to DLV-Complex. DLV-Complex is a very powerful ASP system, which, besides external predicates, explicitly supports (recursive) functions, sets, and lists, along with libraries for their manipulations. If you want, you can still download the last versions of DLV-EX binaries available and some libraries, in the download section, but please note that the DLV-EX project is no longer maintained, thus no new releases/updates are scheduled in the future. For new releases, other important events and full documentation regarding DLV-COMPLEX please refer to the DLV-Complex page.

DLV-EX: The Project
DLV-EX is an Answer Set Programming System extending DLV by External Predicates, which features a framework aimed at enabling ASP to deal with external sources of computation. This feature is realized by the introduction of “parametric” external predicates, whose extension is not specified by means of a logic program but implicitly computed through external code. It is explicitly addressed the issue of invention of new information coming from external predicates, in form of new, and possibly infinite, constant symbols.
DLV-EX is based on the DLV system.
If you designed a nice external predicate, tell us.
