Over the last years various semantics have been proposed for dealing with updates of logic programs by (other) logic programs. Most of these semantics extend the stable models semantics of normal, extended (with explicit negation) or generalized (with default negation in rule heads) logic programs. In this paper we propose a well founded semantics for logic programs updates. We motivate our proposal with both practical and theoretical argumentations. Various theoretical results presented here

... ow how our proposal is related to the stable model approach and how it extends the well founded semantics of normal and generalized logic programs.
