: Salmetintroduced a notion of hypothetical knowledge and showed how it could be used to capture the type of counterfactual reasoning necessary to force the backwards induction sol...
We introduce a logical formalism of irreflexivc causal production relations that possesses both a standard monotonic semantics, and a natural nonmonotonic semantics. The formalism...
Abstract. We present a succinct account of dynamic rippling, a technique used to guide the automation of inductive proofs. This simplifies termination proofs for rippling and hence...
The use of positive and negative reasons in inference and decision aiding is a recurrent issue of investigation as far as the type of formal language to use within a DSS is concer...
—This paper describes a model of a hierarchical, heterogeneous knowledge-base. The proposed model consists of an associative level that is implemented by a Kanerva-like sparse di...
