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...
We address the problem of introducing preferences into default logic. Two approaches are given, one a generalisation of the other. In the first approach, an ordered default theory...
