Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a popular declarative programming language for solving hard combinatorial problems. Albeit ASP has been widely adopted in both academic and industrial contexts, it might be difficult for people who are not familiar with logic programming conventions to use it. In this paper, we propose a translation of English sentences expressed in a controlled natural language (CNL) form into ASP. In particular, we first provide a definition of the type of sentences allowed by our CNL and their translation as ASP rules, and then exemplify the usage of CNL for the specification of well-known combinatorial problems.

Abstract
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a popular declarative programming language for solving hard combinatorial problems. Albeit ASP has been widely adopted in both academic and industrial contexts, it might be difficult for people who are not familiar with logic programming conventions to use it. In this paper, we propose a translation of English sentences expressed in a controlled natural language (CNL) form into ASP. In particular, we first provide a definition of the type of sentences allowed by our CNL and their translation as ASP rules, and then exemplify the usage of CNL for the specification of well-known combinatorial problems.File in questo prodotto:
