A General Framework for Reasoning About Contradictory Information and Some of Its Applications
- . This paper 2 presents a logical approach to the problem of reasoning about information provided by several conflicting agents. The notion of conflict which is studied here, is the notion of contradiction. First, a general logical framework for reasoning with contradictory information is presente

Checking regulation consistency by using SOL-resolution
- This paper addresses the problem of regulation consistency checking. Regulations are sets of rules which express what is obligatory, permitted, forbidden and under which conditions. We first define a first order language to model regulations. Then we introduce a definition of regulation consistency.

Automated reasoning with merged contradictory information whose reliability depends on topics
- Abstract This paper presents a theorem prover for reasoning with information which is provided by several information sources and which may be con- tradictory. This prover allows the user to assume that the different sources are more or less reliable, depending on the topics of the information. Theo

Towards another logical interpretation of Theory of Evidence and a new combination rule
- Theory of Evidence is a mathematical theory which allows one to reason with uncertainty and which provides a rule for combining uncertain data. It has been shown that Theory of Evidence can...

Merging Requirements From a Set of Ranked Agents
- Handling inconsistency is an increasingly important issue in data and knowledge engineering. A number of logic-based proposals have been made for handling aspects of inconsistency in beliefs (where we use beliefs as a general term to encompass representations of the real world) including belief r

Querying Several Conflictual Databases
- This paper addresses the problem of querying several databases considered as a whole. Assuming that the different databases share a common data description language, the problem that raises is to consistently answer queries even if the database contents are contradictory. The main contribution of th

Merging Conflictual Requirements with a Majority Approach
- The first step of the development of a complex system usually involves many people, each having its own requirements about that system. The point is that these different sets of requirements have to be merged in order to get a single set of requirements, the one that will be used as the basis for th

An attempt to adapt a logic of conditional preferences for reasoning with Contrary-To-Duties
- This paper presents some preliminary work which attempts to adapt, in the context of deontic reasoning, the CO logic defined by Boutilier for reasoning with conditional preferences. The first motivation for this work is that deontic logic can be given a semantics in terms of ordered worlds as in
