We present a general framework for defining nonmonotonic systems based on the notion of preferred maximal consistent subsets of the premises. This framework subsumes David Poole...
ko et al. have recently proposed an abstract framework for default reasoning. Besides capturing most existing formalisms and proving that their standard semantics all coincide, th...
Explicit preferences on assumptions as used in prioritized circumscription [McCarthy, 1986; Lifschitz, 1985; Grosof, 1991] and preferred subtheories [Brewka, 1989] provide a clear...
We present a general approach for representing and reasoning with sets of defaults in default logic, focussing on reasoning about preferences among sets of defaults. First, we con...
This paper shows how action theories, expressed in an extended version of the language B, can be naturally encoded using Prioritized Default Theory. We also show how prioritized d...
