deduCtiOn and abduCtiOn (COCO) reasoner.

Use the provided new_coco_project.py script to create a new project.

python3 scripts/new_coco_project.py <project_name>

Implement a database class that inherits from a coco::coco_db implementation. The coco::mongo_db implementation is provided as an example.

#include "mongo_db.h"

class my_db : public coco::mongo_db
{
  public:
    my_db(const std::string &root = COCO_NAME, const std::string &mongodb_uri = MONGODB_URI(MONGODB_HOST, MONGODB_PORT)) : mongo_db(root, mongodb_uri) {}
};

Implement your application class that inherits from coco::coco_core and pass the database to the base class constructor.

#include "coco_core.h"

class my_app : public coco::coco_core
{
  public:
    my_app(my_db &db) : coco_core(db) {}
};

The application can be used to extend the COCO reasoner with your own functionality, defining your own User Defined Functions (UDFs) and User Defined Types (UDTs).

Implement a listener class that inherits from coco::coco_listener and pass the application to the base class constructor.

#include "coco_listener.h"

class my_listener : public coco::coco_listener
{
  public:
    my_listener(my_app& app) : coco_listener(app) {}
};

COCO relies on CLIPS for reacting to the dynamic changes which happen into the urban environment.

• Download CLIPS v6.4.1 and unzip the zip file into the clips_core_source_641 folder.
• Reach the clips_core_source_641/core folder and compile CLIPS through make release_cpp.
• Copy all the header files into the /usr/local/include/clips folder through sudo cp *.h /usr/local/include/clips/.
• Copy the library into the /usr/local/lib folder through sudo cp libclips.a /usr/local/lib/.

COCO relies on MongoDB for storing the data which is collected from the sensors and the participatory data. It is required, in particular, to install the cxx drivers for connecting COCO to a MongoDB database.

Installig OpenSSL

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Installing MongoDB cxx drivers

Download and configure the mongoc driver.

git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver.git
cd mongo-c-driver
python build/calc_release_version.py > VERSION_CURRENT
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF ..

Compile and install it.

cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Download the mongocxx driver.

curl -OL https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver/releases/download/r3.9.0/mongo-cxx-driver-r3.9.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf mongo-cxx-driver-r3.9.0.tar.gz
cd mongo-cxx-driver-r3.9.0/build

Configure the driver.

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DMONGOCXX_OVERRIDE_DEFAULT_INSTALL_PREFIX=OFF

Build and install il.

cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Installing MongoDB (optional)

For installation of MongoDB refer to the official documentation.
