Research Type Theoretical We define model-based operators for the expansion, revision, and contraction of logic programs that preserve the syntactic information about relationships between atoms encoded in a program. Our operators thereby bridge the gap between semantic and syntactic belief change approaches, and, to the best of our knowledge, present the first definition of a model-based contraction operator for logic programs. We adapt the classic AGM belief change postulates to the logic programming setting and show that our operators satisfy all major postulates. For those postulates that are not satisfied, we discuss their suitability, provide alterna-tive postulates, and demonstrate compliance. We introduce the notion of a module as a subset of a program and define which modules are relevant to a revision or contraction operation. Using this definition, we develop an algorithm that reduces the revision or contraction of a program to revising or contracting only the relevant modules of that program.
