Since knowledge bases (KBs) are usually incomplete, they should be able to provide information regarding their own incompleteness, which requires them to introspect on what they k...
This paper presents a new approach for exploiting Truth Maintenance Systems(TMSs) which makes them simpler to use without necessarily incurring a substantial performance penalty. ...
Although computers are widely used to simulate complex physical systems, crafting the underlying models that enable computer analysis remains difficult. When a model is created fo...
Cyclic definitions are often prohibited in terminological knowledge representation languages because, from a theoretical point of view, their semantics is not clear and, from a pr...
This work pertains to the Knuth-Bendix (KB) algorithm which tries to find a complete set of reductions from a given set of equations. In the KB algorithm a term ordering is employ...
