Towards Industrial-scale Product Configuration
This provides a common ground for stakeholders in product configuration, though it is incremental as it builds on existing ASP methods.
The paper tackles the challenge of product configuration for diverse and complex products by introducing the COOM Suite, a curated set of benchmarks and resources in the COOM language, along with an ASP-based workflow for solving these configuration problems.
We address the challenge of product configuration in the context of increasing customer demand for diverse and complex products. We propose a solution through a curated selection of product model benchmarks formulated in the COOM language, divided into three fragments of increasing complexity. Each fragment is accompanied by a corresponding bike model example, and additional scalable product models are included in the COOM suite, along with relevant resources. We outline an ASP-based workflow for solving COOM-based configuration problems, highlighting its adaptability to different paradigms and alternative ASP solutions. The COOM Suite aims to provide a comprehensive, accessible, and representative set of examples that can serve as a common ground for stakeholders in the field of product configuration.
