ASP-driven User-interaction with Clinguin

TL;DR

Clinguin is a system that enables ASP developers to design interactive user interfaces directly within ASP, simplifying the development process by removing the need for separate frontend languages.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach for ASP-driven UI design using dedicated predicates, streamlining interactive prototype development within ASP.

Findings

Enables ASP developers to create interactive prototypes easily.

Simplifies user interaction specification in ASP systems.

Reduces development time by integrating UI design into ASP code.

Abstract

We present clinguin, a system for ASP-driven user interface design. Clinguin streamlines the development of user interfaces for ASP developers by letting them build interactive prototypes directly in ASP, eliminating the need for separate frontend languages. To this end, clinguin uses a few dedicated predicates to define user interfaces and the treatment of user-triggered events. This simple design greatly facilitates the specification of user interactions with an ASP system, in our case clingo.
