Answer: An answer is a statement made in response to an antecedent question. It is partly determined by that question, in that either the same objects or the same attributed properties are mentioned in both question and answer.

Stuart J. Russell on Answers - Dictionary of Arguments
Norvig I 471 Answer/Answer sets/AI research/Norvig/Russell: Answer set programming can be seen as an extension of negation as failure or as a refinement of circumscription; Norvig I 472 the underlying theory of stable model semantics was introduced by Gelfond and Lifschitz (1988)(1), and the leading answer set programming systems are DLV (Eiter et al., 1998)(2) and SMODELS (Niemel¨a et al., 2000)(3). The disk drive example comes from the SMODELS user manual (Syrj¨anen, 2000)(4). Lifschitz (2001(5)) discusses the use of answer set programming for planning. Brewka et al. (1997)(6) give a good overview of the various approaches to nonmonotonic logic. Clark (1978)(7) covers the negation-as-failure approach to logic programming and Clark completion. Van Emden and Kowalski (1976)(8) show that every Prolog program without negation has a unique minimal model. Recent years have seen renewed interest in applications of nonmonotonic logics to large-scale knowledge representation systems. 1. Gelfond, M. and Lifschitz, V. (1988).
