-# OBDD - ordered binary decision diagram
+# Prototype-solver for ADFs grounded semantics by utilising OBDDs - ordered binary decision diagrams
+
+
+## Abstract Dialectical Frameworks
+An abstract dialectical framework (ADF) consists of abstract statements. Each statement has an unique label and might be related to other statements (s) in the ADF. This relation is defined by a so-called acceptance condition (ac), which intuitively is a propositional formula, where the variable symbols are the labels of the statements. An interpretation is a three valued function which maps to each statement a truth value (true, false, undecided). We call such an interpretation a model, if each acceptance condition agrees to the interpration. 
+## ordered Binary Decision Diagram
+An ordered binary decision diagram is a normalised representation of binary functions, where satisfiability- and validity checks can be done relatively cheap.
+
+## Input-file format:
+Each statement is defined by an ASP-style unary predicate s, where the enclosed term represents the label of the statement.
+The binary predicate ac relates each statement to one propositional formula in prefix notation, with the logical operations and constants as follows:
+- and(x,y): conjunction
+- or(x,y): disjunctin
+- iff(x,Y): if and only if
+- xor(x,y): exclusive or
+- neg(x): classical negation
+- c(v): constant symbol "verum" - tautology/top
+- c(f): constant symbol "falsum" - inconsistency/bot
+
