Abstract

Logic programming has been deployed to support nonmonotonic reasoning since the late '80s. In this paper, we review semantics, formalisms and computational mechanisms for logic programming for non-monotonic reasoning. We also discuss some formalisms that have emerged from the cross fertilization between the two areas and some applications in as diverse areas as reasoning about dynamic domains, security, diagnosis and legal reasoning.
