In this paper we investigate updates of knowledge bases represented by logic programs. In order to represent negative information, we use generalized logic programs which allow de...
We present a logic for representing and reasoning with qualitative statements of preference and normality and describe how these may interact in decision making under uncertainty....
Tractable subsets of first-order logic are a central topic in AI research. Several of these formalisms have been used as the basis for first-order probabilistic languages. Howev...
Abstract. We present a framework for updating logic programs under the answer-set semantics that builds on existing work on preferences in logic programming. The approach is simple...
A number of solutions have been proposed for the problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems. Some of these approaches have since been extended to a prioritized environment...
