This paper introduces a new class called hang yourself (HY) arguments into the theory of defeasible argumentation. The novelty of such arguments is that they are inherently destru...
We develop an Answer Set Programming formalism based on Default Logic. We show that computing generating sets of extensions in this formalism captures all ΣP 2 search problems.
This paper presents a computational model for reasoning with causal explanations of observations within the framework of Abductive Event Calculus (AEC). The model is based on abdu...
We define the class of head-cycle free nested logic programs, and its proper subclass of acyclic nested programs, generalising similar classes originally defined for disjunctive...
Unlike most non-monotonic logics Plausible Logic was designed from the very beginning with computer implementation in mind. But one aspect of implementation was neglected, namely ...
We propose in this paper a new family of belief merging operators, that is based on a game between sources : Until a coherent set of sources is reached, at each round a contest is...
In the context of Dung’s argumentation framework, we propose a general recursive schema for argumentation semantics, based on decomposition along the strongly connected componen...
Within the law, the traditional test for attributing causal responsibility is the counterfactual “but-for” test, which asks whether the injury complained of would have occurre...
