Credit institutions are seldom faced with problems dealing with single objectives. Often, decisions involving optimizing two or more competing goals simultaneously need to be made...
In nonmonotonic reasoning, a default conditional has most often been informally interpreted as a defeasible version of a classical conditional, usually the material conditional...

Ordinary logical implication is not enough for answering queries in a logic database, since especially negative information is only implicitly represented in the database state. M...
