Full Description
This volume comprises the proceedings of the First
All-Berlin Workshop on Nonclassical Logics and Information
Processing, held at the Free University of Berlin, November
9-10, 1990.
The scope of the ten papers in the volume is broad, covering
various different subfields of logic - particularly
nonclassical logic - and its applications in artificial
intelligence. The papers are grouped according to the four
major topics that emerged at the meeting: modal systems,
logic programming, nonmonotonic logics, and proof theory.
The classification is only a rough guide since the four
areas overlap considerably.
