We overview the development of first-order automated reasoning systems starting from their early years. Based on the analysis of current and potential applications of such systems...
Abstract. In classical approaches to knowledge representation, reasoners are assumed to derive all the logical consequences of their knowledge base. As a result, reasoning in the ...
Dynamic information flow policies, such as declassification, are essential for practically useful information flow control systems. However, most systems proposed to date that ...
In order to handle inconsistent knowledge bases in a reasonable way, one needs a logic which allows nontrivial inconsistent theories. Logics of this sort are called paraconsistent...
Semantic search promises to produce precise answers to user queries by taking advantage of the availability of explicit semantics of information in the context of the semantic web....
