论文摘要
我们提出了目标定向答案集编程的新颖应用，该计划将模型飞机操作员对模型飞机（AMA）安全法规的合规性验证数字化数字化。 《 AMA安全法规》规定了AMA Flyers如何用于有限的娱乐目的，如何操作无人机（UAV）。飞机及其操作员在飞机运行之前和之后要遵守各种规则，以确保安全飞行。在本文中，我们利用答案集编程来编码AMA安全代码并自动化合规性检查。要检查合规性，我们使用S（CASP），该S（CASP）是目标定向的ASP引擎。通过使用S（CASP），操作员可以轻松检查违规行为，并获得理由树，以解释人类可读的自然语言的侵犯原因。此外，我们实施了一种算法，以帮助操作员获得最小的条件集，以通过合规性检查需要满足。我们开发了一个接受各种条件的前端问卷接口，并使用后端S（CASP）发动机来评估条件是否遵守法规。我们还利用了SWI-Prolog中实施的S（CASP），SWI-Promog将S（CASP）的推理能力公开为REST服务。据我们所知，这是ASP在AMA和航空电子合规性和认证空间中的第一个应用。
We present a novel application of Goal-Directed Answer Set Programming that digitizes the model aircraft operator's compliance verification against the Academy of Model Aircrafts (AMA) safety code. The AMA safety code regulates how AMA flyers operate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for limited recreational purposes. Flying drones and their operators are subject to various rules before and after the operation of the aircraft to ensure safe flights. In this paper, we leverage Answer Set Programming to encode the AMA safety code and automate compliance checks. To check compliance, we use the s(CASP) which is a goal-directed ASP engine. By using s(CASP) the operators can easily check for violations and obtain a justification tree explaining the cause of the violations in human-readable natural language. Further, we implement an algorithm to help the operators obtain the minimal set of conditions that need to be satisfied in order to pass the compliance check. We develop a front-end questionnaire interface that accepts various conditions and use the backend s(CASP) engine to evaluate whether the conditions adhere to the regulations. We also leverage s(CASP) implemented in SWI-Prolog, where SWI-Prolog exposes the reasoning capabilities of s(CASP) as a REST service. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of ASP in the AMA and Avionics Compliance and Certification space.
