Abstract
We are interested in automating reasoning with and about study regulations,
catering to various stakeholders, ranging from administrators, over faculty, to
students at different stages. Our work builds on an extensive analysis of
various study programs at the University of Potsdam. The conceptualization of
the underlying principles provides us with a formal account of study
regulations. In particular, the formalization reveals the properties of
admissible study plans. With these at end, we propose an encoding of study
regulations in Answer Set Programming that produces corresponding study plans.
Finally, we show how this approach can be extended to a generic user interface
for exploring study plans.
