Author:Britz, K; Varzinczak, IDate:Jun 2012Historically, approaches to defeasible reasoning have been concerned mostly with one aspect of defeasibility, viz. that of arguments, in which the focus is on normality of the premise. In this paper we are interested in another aspect of ...Read more
Author:Casini, G; Straccia, U; Meyer, Thomas ADate:Sep 2018Description Logics (DLs) under Rational Closure (RC) is a well-known framework for non-monotonic reasoning in DLs. In this paper, we address the concept subsumption decision problem under RC for nominal safe ELO , a notable and practically ...Read more
Author:Moodley, K; Meyer, T; Sattler, UDate:Aug 2014Abstract. The preferential approach to nonmonotonic reasoning was consolidated
in depth by Krause, Lehmann and Magidor (KLM) for propositional
logic in the early 90's. In recent years, there have been e orts to
extend their framework to ...Read more
Author:Moodley, K; Meyer, T; Varzinczak, IDate:Jun 2012We discuss two approaches for defeasible reasoning in Description Logics that allow for the statement of defeasible subsumptions of the form “subsumed by usually holds”. These approaches are known as prototypical reasoning and presumptive ...Read more
Author:Casini, G; Meyer, T; Moodley, K; Varzinczak, IDate:Jul 2013The formalisation of defeasible reasoning in automated systems is becoming increasingly important. Description Logics (DLs) are nowadays the main logical formalism in the field of formal ontologies. Our focus in this paper is to devise a ...Read more
