Abstract. We address the problem of providing a logical characterization of reasoning based on stereotypes. Following [6] we take a semantic perspective and we base our model on a ...
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...
We define a sound and complete logic, called FO , which extends classical first-order predicate logic with intuitionistic implication. As expected, to allow the interpretation of i...
We consider the frame problem, that is, char acterizing the assumption that properties tend to persist over time. We show that there are at least three distinct assumptions that...
Usually, semantics of inheritance networks is specified indirectly through a translation into one of the standard logical formalisms. Since such translation involves an algorithmi...
