Qualified Logic Programming with Bivalued Predicates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on the field of uncertainty in logic programming has evolved during the last 25 years. In a recent paper [13] we have revised a classical approach by van Emden’s to Quantitative Logic Programming [19], generalizing it to a generic scheme QLP(D) for so-called Qualified Logic Programming over a parametrically given domain D, whose elements play the role of generalized truth values and can be used to qualify logical assertions. In this paper we present an extension of QLP(D) yielding a more expressive scheme BQLP(D), which supports a simple kind of negation based on bivalued predicates and allows threshold constraints in clause bodies in order to impose lower bounds to the qualifications computed by program clauses. The new scheme has a rigorous declarative semantics and a sound and strongly complete goal resolution procedure which can be efficiently implemented using constraint logic programming technology.

The completeness of logic programming with sort predicates
An order-sorted logic can be regarded as a generalized first-order predicate logic that includes many and ordered sorts (i.e. a sort-hierarchy). In the fields of knowledge representation and AI, this logic with sort-hierarchy has been used to design a logic-based language appropriate for representing taxonomic knowledge. By incorporating the sort-hierarchy, order-sorted resolution and sorted lo...
متن کاملSOFT TOPOLOGY AND SOFT PROXIMITY AS FUZZY PREDICATES BY FORMULAE OF LUKASIEWICZ LOGIC
In this paper, based in the L ukasiewicz logic, the definition offuzzifying soft neighborhood structure and fuzzifying soft continuity areintroduced. Also, the fuzzifying soft proximity spaces which are ageneralizations of the classical soft proximity spaces are given. Severaltheorems on classical soft proximities are special cases of the theorems weprove in this paper.
متن کاملExtending Datatype Support in Web Ontology Reasoning
The Semantic Web is a vision of the next generation Web, in which semantic markup will make Web resources more accessible to automatic processes. Description Logics (DLs) are of crucial importance to the development of the Semantic Web, where their role is to provide formal underpinnings and automated reasoning services for Semantic Web ontology languages such as DAML+OIL. In this paper, we sho...
متن کاملExtending Temporal Logic Programming with Choice Predicates Non-Determinism
In temporal logic programming, a stream can be specified by a single-valued, time-varying predicate which, at any given moment in time, represents the corresponding element in the stream. However, due to inherent nondeterminism in logic programming, time-varying predicates do not necessarily represent single-valued relations at any given moment in time. Choice predicates are also time-varying p...
