Theoretical research has spent some years facing the problem of how to represent and provide semantics to updates of logic programs. This problem is relevant for addressing highly ...
Deductive database technology represents an important step towards the goal of developing highly-declarative database programming languages. In order to make deductive databases a ...

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for proving the validity or invalidity of a pre/postcondition pair for a program. The algorithm is motivated by the success of the algori...
In this paper, we continue to explore many-valued disjunctive logic programs with probabilistic semantics. In particular, we newly introduce the least model state semantics for suc...
The key task in probabilistic reasoning is to appropriately update one’s beliefs as one obtains new information in the form of evidence. In many application settings, however, th...
