Several variants of default logic have subsequently been proposed to give systems with properties differing from the original. In this paper, we examine the relationship between default logic and its major variants. We accomplish this by translating a default theory under a variant interpretation into a second default theory, under the original Reiter semantics, wherein the variant interpretation is respected. That is, in each case we show that, given an extension of a translated theory, one may extract an extension of the original variant default logic theory. We show how constrained, rational, justified, and cumulative default logic can be expressed in Reiter's default logic. As well, we show how Reiter's default logic can be expressed in rational default logic. From this, we suggest that any such variant can be similarly treated. Consequently, we provide a unification of default logics, showing how the original formulation of default logic may express its variants. Moreover, the translations clearly express the relationships between alternative approaches to default logic. The translations themselves are shown to generally have good properties. Thus, in at least a theoretical sense, we show that these variants are in a sense superfluous, in that for any of these variants of default logic, we can exactly mimic the behaviour of a variant in standard default logic. As well, the translations lend insight into means of classifying the expressive power of default logic variants; specifically we suggest that the property of semi-monotonicity represents a division with respect to expressibility, whereas regularity and cumulativity do not}, language = {en} } @article{DelgrandeSchaub2004, author = {Delgrande, James Patrick and Schaub, Torsten H.}, title = {Two approaches to merging knowledge bases}, isbn = {3-540-23242-7}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{DelgrandeSchaub2004, author = {Delgrande, James Patrick and Schaub, Torsten H.}, title = {Consistency-based approaches to merging knowledge based : preliminary report}, isbn = {92-990021-0-X}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{DelgrandeSchaub2004, author = {Delgrande, James Patrick and Schaub, Torsten H.}, title = {Reasoning with sets of preferences in default logic}, issn = {0824-7935}, year = {2004}, abstract = {We present a general approach for representing and reasoning with sets of defaults in default logic, focusing on reasoning about preferences among sets of defaults. First, we consider how to control the application of a set of defaults so that either all apply (if possible) or none do (if not). From this, an approach to dealing with preferences among sets of default rules is developed. We begin with an ordered default theory, consisting of a standard default theory, but with possible preferences on sets of rules. This theory is transformed into a second, standard default theory wherein the preferences are respected. The approach differs from other work, in that we obtain standard default theories and do not rely on prioritized versions of default logic. In practical terms this means we can immediately use existing default logic theorem provers for an implementation. Also, we directly generate just those extensions containing the most preferred applied rules; in contrast, most previous approaches generate all extensions, then select the most preferred. In a major application of the approach, we show how semimonotonic default theories can be encoded so that reasoning can be carried out at the object level. With this, we can reason about default extensions from within the framework of a standard default logic. Hence one can encode notions such as skeptical and credulous conclusions, and can reason about such conclusions within a single extension}, language = {en} } @article{DelgrandeSchaub2003, author = {Delgrande, James Patrick and Schaub, Torsten H.}, title = {Reasoning credulously and skeptically within a single extension}, year = {2003}, language = {en} }
