Friedman and Halpern have introduced the inference by plausibility structures, which provides semantics for various default logics. This is a generalization of known inferences, su...
Both OWL-DL and function-free Horn rules3 are decidable logics with interesting, yet orthogonal expressive power: from the rules perspective, OWL-DL is restricted to tree-like rule...
Current implementations of Java make security decisions by searching the runtime call stack. These systems have attractive security properties, but they have been criticized as be...
