Abstract
Interactive configuration is the process of assisting a user in selecting values for parameters that respect given constraints. Inspired by the increasing demand for the real-time configuration in Supply Chain Management, we apply a compilation approach to the problem of interactive distributed configuration where the user options depend on constraints fragmented over a number of different locations connected through a network. We formalize the problem, suggest a solution approach based on an asynchronous compilation scheme, and perform experimental verification.
