In this paper, we present a new technique for the e cient dynamic detection and removal of inactive clauses, i.e. clauses that do not a ect the solutions of interest of a Boolean ...
Several formalisms exist to express and solve decision problems. Each is designed to capture different kinds of knowledge: utilities expressing preferences, uncertainties on the en...
Many decision and optimization problems in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) can be solved with Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). Moreover, well-known extensions of SAT also find app...
Probabilistic databases hold promise of being a viable means for large-scale uncertainty management, increasingly needed in a number of real world applications domains. However, q...
It is well-known that knowledgebases may contain inconsistencies. We provide a framework of measures, based on a first-order four-valued logic, to quantify the inconsistency of a ...
