The problem of repair and maintenance of complex systems, such as aircraft, cars and trucks is certainly a nontrivial task. Maintenance technicians must use a great amount of knowl...
Abstract. Abduction is a fundamental mode of reasoning, which has taken on increasing importance in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related disciplines. Computing abductive expla...
We formally characterize alternating fixed points of boolean equation systems as models of (propositional) normal logic programs. To this end, we introduce the notion of a preferr...

Abstract. Recently, local logics for Mazurkiewicz traces are of increasing interest. This is mainly due to the fact that the satisfiability problem has the same complexity as in t...
The ordered conjecture states that least fixed-point logic LFP is strictly more expressive than first-order logic FO on every infinite class of ordered finite structures. It has b...
