His study in Answer set programming is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Intelligent agent, Representation, Range, Prolog and Software engineering.
The Well-founded semantics study combines topics in areas such as Horn clause, Game semantics, Higher-order logic and Natural language processing.
His most cited work include:
- The stable model semantics for logic programming (3386 citations)
- Classical negation in logic programs and disjunctive databases (2105 citations)
- Representing action and change by logic programs (504 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Michael Gelfond mainly focuses on Programming language, Knowledge representation and reasoning, Logic programming, Artificial intelligence and Theoretical computer science.
His Programming language study is mostly concerned with Prolog, Semantics, Non-monotonic logic, Description logic and Well-founded semantics.
His Knowledge representation and reasoning study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Domain, Action language, Answer set programming, Probabilistic logic and Declarative programming.
Michael Gelfond is involved in the study of Logic programming that focuses on Horn clause in particular.
His research in Stable model semantics and Multimodal logic are components of Theoretical computer science.
His work in Stable model semantics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Denotational semantics.

- Programming language (40.56%)
- Knowledge representation and reasoning (35.66%)
- Logic programming (34.97%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?
- Knowledge representation and reasoning (35.66%)
- Programming language (40.56%)
- Artificial intelligence (29.37%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Knowledge representation and reasoning, Programming language, Artificial intelligence, Answer set programming and Action language.
His work deals with themes such as Probabilistic logic, Theoretical computer science, Domain knowledge and Declarative programming, which intersect with Knowledge representation and reasoning.
His research combines Formal semantics and Theoretical computer science.
Within one scientific family, Michael Gelfond focuses on topics pertaining to Structure under Programming language, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Axiom and Knowledge base.
His Artificial intelligence research includes elements of Machine learning and Human–computer interaction.
His research in Logic programming intersects with topics in Logical consequence, Term and Formal language.
Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and the Design of Intelligent Agents: The Answer-Set Programming Approach (156 citations)
- Applications of Answer Set Programming (113 citations)
- Knowledge representation, reasoning, and the design of intelligent agents (49 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Programming language
- Artificial intelligence
- Knowledge representation and reasoning
Michael Gelfond focuses on Knowledge representation and reasoning, Answer set programming, Programming language, Artificial intelligence and Action language.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Probabilistic logic, Theoretical computer science and Declarative programming in addition to Knowledge representation and reasoning.
Michael Gelfond interconnects Consistency and Type in the investigation of issues within Theoretical computer science.
He works mostly in the field of Answer set programming, limiting it down to concerns involving Software engineering and, occasionally, Range, Representation, Robotics, Logical conjunction and Rotation formalisms in three dimensions.
His work focuses on many connections between Programming language and other disciplines, such as Structure, that overlap with his field of interest in Axiom, Hierarchy, Knowledge base and Logic programming.
While the research belongs to areas of Action language, Michael Gelfond spends his time largely on the problem of Domain knowledge, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Probabilistic analysis of algorithms, Commonsense reasoning, Robot and Prolog.
