A Temporal Model Theory for Default Logic
نویسنده
چکیده
By explicitly identifying the temporal aspect of a default rule as it is used in a reasoning process, it is argued that a natural semantic theory of Reiter's default logic is a temporal one. To be able to accommodate the lack of complete knowledge at any point in time, the temporal models should be partial models. A temporal partial logic is introduced, and it is shown that this logic can provide semantics for Reiter's default logic.

A Default Temporal Logic for Regulatory Conformance Checking
This paper considers the problem of checking whether an organization conforms to a body of regulation. Conformance is cast as a trace checking question – the regulation is represented in a logic that is evaluated against an abstract trace or run representing the operations of an organization. We focus on a problem in designing a logic to represent regulation. A common phenomenon in regulatory t...
متن کاملAn Interpretation of Default Logic in Minimal Temporal Epistemic Logic
When reasoning about complex domains, where information available is usually only partial, nonmonotonic reasoning can be an important tool. One of the formalisms introduced in this area is Reiter's Default Logic (1980). A characteristic of this formalism is that the applicability of default (inference) rules can only be verified in the future of the reasoning process. We describe an interpretat...
متن کاملTimed Default Concurrent Constraint Programming
Synchronous programming (Berry (1989)) is a powerful approach to programming reactive systems. Following the idea that “processes are relations extended over time” (Abramsky (1993)), we propose a simple but powerful model for timed, determinate computation, extending the closure-operator model for untimed concurrent constraint programming (CCP). In (Saraswat et al. 1994a) we had proposed a mode...
متن کاملA Practical Theory of Nonmonotonic Temporal Modelling
This paper sets out a framework for modelling causal or predictive systems, and is concerned with bridging the gap between the theory and practice of nonmonotonic temporal reasoning. The central result is a nonmonotonic reasoning methodology which subsumes Shoham's chronological ignorance (CI) formalism for causal theories. The new formalism uses an extension of Re-iter's default logic and, unl...
متن کاملDefault geasoning, Nonmonotonic Logics, and the Frame Problem
Nonmonotonic formal systems have been proposed as an extension to classical first-order logic that will capture the process of human “default reasoning” or “plausible inference” through their inference mechanisms just as modus ponena provides a model for deductive reasoning. But although the technical properties of these logics have been studied in detail and many examples of human default reas...
