ASP-driven User-interaction with Clinguin

The growing popularity of Answer Set Programming (ASP; [13]) in both academia and industry necessitates the development of user-friendly graphical interfaces to cater to end users. This is especially critical for interactive applications where users engage in iterative feedback loops with ASP systems. Examples include timetabling or product configuration tools. This leads to challenges in frontend development and requires skills in areas beyond ASP development. In addition, custom solutions have a limited reach, as they cannot be easily adapted. Clinguin addresses this challenge and streamlines User Interface (UI) development for ASP developers by letting them build interactive prototypes directly in ASP, eliminating the need for separate frontend languages. To this end, clinguin uses a few dedicated predicates to define UIs and the treatment of user-triggered events.
