In this paper we argue that for realistic applications involving default reasoning it is necessary to reason about the priorities of defaults. Existing approaches require the know...
We propose a framework that brings together two major forms of default reasoning in Artificial Intelligence: applying default property classification rules in static domains, and d...
A serious defect with the Halpern-Pearl (HP) definition of causality is repaired by combining a theory of causality with a theory of defaults. In addition, it is shown that (despi...
An approach to nonmonotonic inference, based on preference orderings between possible worlds or states of affairs, is presented. We begin with an extant weak theory of default con...
In this paper we propose a version of default logic with the following two properties: (1) defaults with mutually inconsistent justications are never used together in constructing ...
