A1 - Tompits, Hans A1 - Wang, Kewen T1 - A classification and survey of preference handling approchaches in nonmonotonic reasoning N2 - In recent years, there has been a large amount of disparate work concerning the representation and reasoning with qualitative preferential information by means of approaches to nonmonotonic reasoning. Given the variety of underlying systems, assumptions, motivations, and intuitions, it is difficult to compare or relate one approach with another. Here, we present an overview and classification for approaches to dealing with preference. A set of criteria for classifying approaches is given, followed by a set of desiderata that an approach might be expected to satisfy. A comprehensive set of approaches is subsequently given and classified with respect to these sets of underlying principles Y1 - 2004 SN - 0824-7935 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Schaub, Torsten H.
