Abstract, We consider the problem of integrating Reiter's default logic into terminological representation systems. It turns out that such an integration is less straightforwa...
Default logic, one of the best known formalisms to express common sense reasoning, does not allow to reason by cases in its standard formulations. We propose a natural and easy way...
We introduce an alternative conceptual basis for default reasoning in Reiter's default logic. In fact, most formal or computational treatments of default logic suffer from th...
Default reasoning has become an important topic in software engineering. In particular, defaults can be used to revise speci cations, to enhance reusability of existing systems, an...
