Clingraph: A System for ASP-based Visualization
Hahn, Susana, Sabuncu, Orkunt, Schaub, Torsten, Stolzmann, Tobias
We present the ASP-based visualization tool, clingraph, which aims at visualizing various concepts of ASP by means of ASP itself. This idea traces back to the aspviz tool and clingraph redevelops and extends it in the context of modern ASP systems. More precisely, clingraph takes graph specifications in terms of ASP facts and hands them over to the graph visualization system graphviz. The use of ASP provides a great interface between logic programs and/or answer sets and their visualization. Also, clingraph offers a python API that extends this ease of interfacing to clingo's API, and in turn to connect and monitor various aspects of the solving process.
Experimenting with robotic intra-logistics domains
Gebser, Martin, Obermeier, Philipp, Otto, Thomas, Schaub, Torsten, Sabuncu, Orkunt, Nguyen, Van, Son, Tran Cao
We introduce the asprilo [1] framework to facilitate experimental studies of approaches addressing complex dynamic applications. For this purpose, we have chosen the domain of robotic intra-logistics. This domain is not only highly relevant in the context of today's fourth industrial revolution but it moreover combines a multitude of challenging issues within a single uniform framework. This includes multi-agent planning, reasoning about action, change, resources, strategies, etc. In return, asprilo allows users to study alternative solutions as regards effectiveness and scalability. Although asprilo relies on Answer Set Programming and Python, it is readily usable by any system complying with its fact-oriented interface format. This makes it attractive for benchmarking and teaching well beyond logic programming. More precisely, asprilo consists of a versatile benchmark generator, solution checker and visualizer as well as a bunch of reference encodings featuring various ASP techniques. Importantly, the visualizer's animation capabilities are indispensable for complex scenarios like intra-logistics in order to inspect valid as well as invalid solution candidates. Also, it allows for graphically editing benchmark layouts that can be used as a basis for generating benchmark suites. [1] asprilo stands for Answer Set Programming for robotic intra-logistics

Goal Recognition Design involves identifying the best ways to modify an underlying environment that agents operate in, typically by making asubset of feasible actions infeasible, so that agents are forced to reveal their goals as early as possible. Thus far, existing work has focused exclusively on imperative classical planning. In this paper, we address the same problem with a different paradigm, namely, declarative approaches based on Answer Set Programming (ASP). Our experimental results show that one of our ASP encodings is more scalable and is significantly faster by up to three orders of magnitude than thecurrent state of the art.
