Computing with default logic

摘要

Default logic was proposed by Reiter as a knowledge representation tool. In this paper, we present our work on the Default Reasoning System, DeReS, the first comprehensive and optimized implementation of default logic. While knowledge representation remains the main application area for default logic, as a source of large-scale problems needed for experimentation and as a source of intuitions needed for a systematic methodology of encoding problems as default theories we use here the domain of combinatorial problems.
