EZSMT is a constraint answer set programming solver which takes a program written in EZCSP and produces an SMT-LIB compliant program. The resultant program can be run on Satisfiability Modulo Theories solvers such as CVC4, Z3, and Yices. EZSMT used EZCSP, Gringo, and CMODELS to perform its transformation procedures.
EZSMT version 2.0.0 is available for download here (under GPLv3):
README file is present within the download content. In copmairson to its earlier version, EZSMT version 2.0.0 is able to process non-tight programs, enumerate multiple solutions, process programs with linear and nonlinear constraints over mixed real and integer variables (Note that it is compatible with Gringo version 4.5.3).
EZSMT version 2.0.0 is also available as a zip file packaged in a containerized environment called Docker. An advantage of this package is that all of the dependencies can be set up with one command line. Additionally, Docker facilitates stronger limits on cpu and memory consumption for benchmarking purposes. The package, including a README file, is available here:
