Abstract

An overview of a system modelling an intelligent agent being able to reason by using default rules is given. The semantics of the qualitative default rules is defined via ordinal conditional functions which model the epistemic state of the agent, providing her with the basic equipment to perform different knowledge management and belief revision tasks. Using the concept of Abstract State Machines, the fully operational system was developed in AsmL, allowing for a high-level implementation that minimizes the gap between the mathematical specification of the underlying concepts and the executable code in the implemented system.
