Towards Industrial-Scale Product Configuration
Abstract We address the challenge of product configuration in the context of increasing customer demand for diverse and complex products. We propose a solution through a curated selection of product model benchmarks formulated in the Coom language, divided into three fragments of increasing complexity. Each fragment is accompanied by a corresponding example on bike configuration, and additional scalable product models are included in the CoomSuite, along with relevant resources. We outline an ASP-based workflow for solving Coom-based configuration problems, highlighting its adaptability to different paradigms and alternative ASP solutions. The CoomSuite aims to provide a comprehensive, accessible, and representative set of examples that can serve as a common ground for stakeholders in the field of product configuration.
