Query Answering in Normal Logic Programs under Uncertainty

In 8th European Conferences on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty (ECSQARU-05).


Abstract:
We present a simple, yet general top-down query answering procedure for normal logic programs over lattices and bilattices, where functions may appear in the rule bodies. Its interest relies on the fact that many approaches to paraconsistency and uncertainty in logic programs with or without non-monotonic negation are based on bilattices or lattices, respectively.
