PROBLEMS IN NONMONOTONIC REASONING
MCC Auditorium
10:30 April 16
Nonmonotonic reasoning now has been a topic of interest for more than
fifteen years, although substantial research into its theoretical
foundations did not begin until the late seventies. Recently, some doubts
arose concerning the achievements in this field, in particular concerning
the question whether the techniques developed so far can solve those
problems they are intended to solve. A survey of the history of nonmonotonic
reasoning will be given and major unresolved issues in the current theories
identified.
