Inhaltsangabe

Inconsistency arises in many areas in advanced computing. Often inconsistency is unwanted, for example in the specification for a plan or in sensor fusion in robotics; however, sometimes inconsistency is useful. Whether inconsistency is unwanted or useful, there is a need to develop tolerance to inconsistency in application technologies such as databases, knowledge bases, and software systems. To address this situation, inconsistency tolerance is being built on foundational technologies for identifying and analyzing inconsistency in information, for representing and reasoning with inconsistent information, for resolving inconsistent information, and for merging inconsistent information.

The idea for this book arose out of a Dagstuhl Seminar on the topic held in summer 2003. The nine chapters in this first book devoted to the subject of inconsistency tolerance were carefully invited and anonymously reviewed. The book provides an exciting introduction to this new field.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Leopoldo Bertossi has been Full Professor at the School of Computer Science, Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada) since 2001. He is Faculty Fellow of the IBM Center for Advanced Studies. He obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC) in 1988. He has been the theme leader for "Adaptive Data Quality and Data Cleaning" of the "NSERC Strategic Network for Data Management for Business Intelligence" (BIN), an ongoing umbrella research project that involves more than 15 academic researchers across Canada plus several industrial partners. Until 2001 he was professor and departmental chair (1993-1995) at the Department of Computer Science, PUC, and was also the President of the Chilean Computer Science Society (SCCC) in 1996 and 1999-2000. He has been visiting professor at the computer science departments of the universities of Toronto (1989/90), Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1990/91), Marseille-Luminy (1997) and visiting re[1]searcher at the Technical University Berlin (1997/98), visiting researcher and professor at the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen (Italy). In 2006, he was a visiting researcher at the Technical University of Vienna as a Pauli Fellow of the "Wolfgang Pauli Institute (WPI) Vienna". Prof. Bertossi's research interests include database theory, data integration, peer data management, semantic web, intelligent information systems, data quality for business intelligence, knowledge representation, logic programming, and computational logic. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Bibel lehrt das Fachgebiet Intellektik am Fachbereich Informatik der TH Darmstadt. Dr. Steffen Hölldobler und Dr. Torsten Schaub sind wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter am gleichen Fachbereich.
