Non-Monotonic Extensions of Logic Programming [electronic resource] : ICLP '94 Workshop Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, June 17, 1994 Selected Papers / edited by Jürgen Dix, Louis Moniz Pereira, Teodor C. Przymusinski.

An argumentation theoretic semantics based on non-refutable falsity -- From disjunctive programs to abduction -- Samantics of normal and disjunctive logic programs a unifying framework -- Every normal program has a nearly-stable model -- Logic programming with assumption denial -- A resolution-based procedure for default theories with extensions -- A general approach to bottom-up computation of disjunctive semantics -- Static semantics as program transformation and well-founded computation -- Magic computation for well-founded semantics -- Computing stable and partial stable models of extended disjunctive logic programs.

This volume is based on papers presented during the ICLP '94 Workshop on Nonmonotonic Extensions of Logic Programming and on papers solicited afterwards from key researchers participating in the workshop. In total 10 carefully refereed, revised, full research papers on semantics and computational aspects of logic programs are included. Logic programs rely on a nonmonotonic operator often referred to as negation by failure or negation by default. The nonmonoticity of this operator allows to apply results from the area of nonmonotonic theories to the investigation of logic programs (and vice versa). This volume is devoted to the interdependence of nonmonotonic formalisms and logic programming.
