A REST-based development framework for ASP: Tools and application

Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a declarative programming paradigm that has been successfully used in a number of industry-level applications also thanks to the availability of development tools. REpresentation State Transfer (REST) Web Services recently became a common and widely-used tool for enterprise applications. A service-oriented infrastructure for ASP would further catalyze the adoption of ASP-based solutions in real-world contexts. This paper introduces a REST-based framework for ASP, and reports on an application of the framework in the field of surveillance for photovoltaic plants.
