Abstract

Life-long learning is more and more playing a key role for economical, personal and social success. Therefore the management and development of skills and knowledge is of premier importance in industry and, on the other hand, a major expense factor. So called examination management systems assist teachers and trainers through an automatic compilation of documents, in particular assessment tests, based on user defined requirements and constraints and thus help reduce costs. In this paper we present and discuss a solution of the underlying general problem using Answer Set Programming and show the power and advantages of our approach.
