Non-Monotonic Extensions of Logic Programming: ICLP '94 Workshop, Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, June 17, 1994. Selected Papers / Edition 1

by Louis M. Pereira, Teodor C. Przymusinski

Overview

This volume is based on papers presented during the ICLP '94 Workshop on Nonmonotonic Extensions of Logic Programming and on papers solicited afterwards from key researchers participating in the workshop. In total 10 carefully refereed, revised, full research papers on semantics and computational aspects of logic programs are included.

Logic programs rely on a nonmonotonic operator often referred to as negation by failure or negation by default. The nonmonoticity of this operator allows to apply results from the area of nonmonotonic theories to the investigation of logic programs (and vice versa). This volume is devoted to the interdependence of nonmonotonic formalisms and logic programming.
