It currently supports the DLV system and ASP Core 2.0 language. 

ASPIDE is composed by a main library, that is under the GNU General Public Licence, offering a minimal set of tools for editing simple files, running programs and getting results using an ASP solver. Additional functionalities will be enabled by accepting to dowload an add-on package.

Beta Version 0.8

Release Date December 17, 2010
Version 0.8-beta
Release Name ASPIDE_0.8-beta
Description

The first official release of ASPIDE. This version supports the visual editor, presented on the 25th Italian Conference of Computational Logic (CILC2010), that allows for drawing logic programs (for more information visit www.mat.unical.it/ricca/programgui.html). Moreover this version has a text editor that provides syntax coloring, error highlighting, code templates, auto-completion, dynamic code templates definition, quick fixed of errors and refactoring of predicates and variables. 

Other important features are: advanced configuration of the execution, with both tabular visualization of the results and execution in console, execution in Profiler, file and project management, enabling/disabling of single files, test suite, text/visual switching of the programs, dynamic window layout.

ASPIDE provides also an advanced management of the configuration files used by DLVDB (TYP files) using, for the building of those ones files, both Text Editor and a Visual Editor. The Text Editor provides auto-completion and syntax coloring and the Visual Editor allows graphical editing of the TYP files by connecting to external databases. A text/visual switching has been introduced also for the TYP files, and the list of the external data-sources for the enabled TYP files, are shown separately and can be synchronized by connecting to the databases to retrieve some other tables not specified in the TYP files. Regarding programs, in both text editor and visual editor the predicates that are tables of external data-source, are evidenced by a different color. In the Visual Editor for logico programs, the user can import new external data-sources and use them in the program by drag/drop in the body graph. 

This version contains a preferences window where the user can set the type and the dimension of the font and the preferred colours in the text editor. Using the same window it is possible to set the paths of the executables (DLV, DLVDB, DLT, etc...) . At the first execution of the application, an installation window is shown where the user can set the paths of the executables.

This version has also a Debugger, defined by integrating the debugging tool spock and by creating an intuitive graphical window that allows to set up the options of spock. A small wrapper for the spock results have been created too. For more information regarding spock, visit www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/research/systems/debug/index.html.

This version contains also a graphical visualization of the Dependency Graph for the logic programs.
