An ASP-based System for Preference Handling and Planning.

Internet and mobile applications are becoming more and more helpful and widespread, while our daily lives are becoming increasingly busy and complicated. Preferences affect our actions, as well as those of intelligent agents. Answer Set Programming is a suitable framework for a decision making process which aims at supporting users by suitably planning their activities. Resourced Answer Set Programming (RASP) provides mechanisms for the optimization of answer sets according to preferences and resources. In this paper, an ASP-based system integrated with a mobile application able to plan the activities of a user is proposed, taking into account the context in which the user is located, the available resources, the geographical position and user’s preferences.
