Integrating Structured Declarative Language (SDL) into ASP Chef

This article explores the integration of Structured Declarative Language (SDL) into ASP Chef, a low-code web application designed to facilitate the development of pipelines for combinatorial search and optimization. SDL is a recent proposal aimed at simplifying the syntax of Answer Set Programming (ASP), inspired by the straightforwardness of SQL. The integration is achieved through the implementation of a server that compiles SDL specifications into ASP programs and the addition of a new operation in ASP Chef to manage data exchange with the server. This integration aims to streamline the development process and make it more accessible for users working on combinatorial optimization tasks.
