Abstract:

When configuring customizable software, it is useful to provide interactive tool-support that ensures that the configuration does not breach given constraints. But, when is a configuration complete and how can the tool help the user to complete it?

I will formalize this problem and relate it to concepts from non-monotonic reasoning well-researched in Artificial Intelligence. The results are interesting for both practitioners and
theoreticians. Practitioners will find a technique facilitating an interactive configuration process and experiments supporting feasibility of the approach. Theoreticians will find links between well-known formal concepts and a concrete practical application.
