Vladimir Lifschitz is among the most influential scientists in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). He started out his work at Stanford with John McCarthy and made significant contributions in the area of Non-monotonic Reasoning (NMR). This can be seen a precursor to his later groundbreaking work connecting NMR with Logic Programming that led to the definition of the stable models semantics, and thus the initial foundations of Answer Set Programming (ASP).
