Web Application Process Planning Language (WAPPL) [working title]

Disclaimer: This is only a prototype implementation and far from production ready. Due to the nature of prototyping, the code needs refactoring. This repository holds the prototype implementation of my Masterthesis to showcase the capabilities of the designed domain-specific languages for modeling (Business) Process Management Systems.

Installation

• Python 3.8.10 (instructions: https://www.python.org/downloads/)
• pip
• install requirements: pip -r requirements.txt

Execution of examples

• wappl directory holds executable examples of the simulated interaction layer
• the relevant files are fixed_price_request_execution.txt, perioperative_care_execution.txt, order_management_execution.txt and course_management_execution.txt (not executable, see thesis document for explaination)
• execute one of the files (we suggest order_management_execution.txt because it showcases most capabilities of the DSL) using python: python <file-name>

Execution of tests

• in root directory: make (requires make to be installed)

Execution of planning experiments

• planning_experiments contains the files for the automated planning capability evaluation
• use VSCode and PDDL VSCode Extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jan-dolejsi.pddl
• IMPORTANT: the newest version of the extension (v2.27.0) does not work with the planutils container at the time writing this readme file. You have to use v2.26.0 of the extension
• start a docker container that runs planutils using cd planning_experiments && ./run.sh (might require sudo, depending on your installation of docker)
• install TFD planner according to planutils documentation (https://github.com/AI-Planning/planutils)
• open *_problem.pddl file of you choice, press ALT+P and run execution against locally running planutils server
• PDDL extension of VSCode automatically visualizes the plan the planner came up with

Metrics

• the metrics directory holds the script used to calculate the token count for the GPL and DSL implementations as mentioned in the thesis' section 7.2
