Abstract

Bipolar preferences distinguish between negative preferences inducing what is acceptable by complementation and positive preferences representing what is really satisfactory. This article provides a review of the main logics for preference representation. Representing preferences in a bipolar logical way has the advantage of enabling us to reason about them, while increasing their expressive power in a cognitively meaningful way. In the article, we first focus on the possibilistic logic setting and then discuss two other logics: qualitative choice logic and penalty logic. Finally, an application of bipolar preferences querying systems is outlined. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
