Solving Object-oriented Configuration Scenarios with ASP

The main configuration scenarios occurring in the domain of technical products and systems are consistency checking, completing a partial configuration, reconfiguration of an inconsistent configuration and finding the best knowledge base for future reconfigurations. This paper presents OOASP- a framework for the description of object-oriented product configurators using answer set programming and shows that it is able to solve the different (re)configuration scenarios occurring in practice. Thus, it is a step forward to close the conceptual gap between logic-based and object-oriented approaches for product configuration
