Knowledge Representation Using High-Level Non-monotonic Reasoning

We introduce the new paradigm of High-Level Non-Monotonic reasoning (HLNM). This paradigm is the consolidation of our recent results on disjunctions, sets, explicit and implicit negation, and partialorder clauses. We show how these concepts are integrated in a natural way into the standard logic programming framework. For this purpose, we present several well known examples from the literature that motivate the need of this new paradigm. Finally, we define a declarative semantics for HLNM reasoning.
