The computer program, called a configurator, needs to perform a variety of reasoning tasks with the (often incomplete) information that the user provides. Imperative programming approaches make such systems difficult to implement and maintain. Knowledge-based configurators have been proposed to help engineers solve such problems, but many challenges remain. We present IDP-Z3, a new reasoning engine for the FO(.) KR language, and we report on its use for building configurators automatically from a knowledge base.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.00343v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.00343v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"idp-z3-a-reasoning-engine-for-fo","repo_url":"https://gitlab.com/krr/idp-z3","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2202.00343","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
