Inhaltsangabe

This 1991 book gives an overview of different areas of research in nonmonotonic reasoning. The guiding principles are: clarification of the different research activities in the area and appreciation of the fact that these research activities often represent different means to the same ends, namely sound theoretical foundations and efficient computation.

Críticas

"There is no doubt in my mind that Brewka's book is worth reading." V. W. Marek, SIGART Bulletin

"One group who would find this book useful is PhD researchers in logic and AI embarking on research programmes in nonmonotonic reasoning: before committing themselves to any particular approach they should read this book thoroughly." Ajit Narayanan, Expert Systems

"Readers should have a basic knowledge of first-order logic. With this preparation, they will find that the book gives a quick, broad introduction to nonmonotonic reasoning....It can be used as a reference book or a tutorial for a graduate course on nonmonotonic reasoning....Specialists in nonmonotonic reasoning can also benefit from reading the chapters discussing the author's proposals." J. Chen, Computing Reviews

"...covers important topics of nonmonotonic reasoning. The level of detail is well balanced with a reasonable reflection of the formal systems and techniques presented. The book is welcomed by researchers working on the fields of artificial intelligence and theoretical computer science." Heinrich Herre, Journal of Symbolic Logic
