      Nieves Sánchez, Juan Carlos; Osorio Galindo, Mauricio (2008-11)
      Research report
      Open Access
      In this paper, by considering the idea that argumentation semantics can be viewed as a special form of logic programming semantics with negation as failure, we show that any logic programming semantics as the stable model ...

      The use of Horizontal Subsurface Constructed Wetlands (HSCWs) for treating wastewaters in small communities has increased in the last years due to HSCW’s ecological singularities. Unfortunately, the same singularities ...

      Conference report
      Open Access
      Extension-based argumentation semantics have shown to be a suitable approach for performing practical reasoning. Since extension-based argumentation semantics were formalized in terms of relationships between atomic ...

      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Interconnected service providers constitute a highly dynamic, complex, distributed environment. Multi-agent system design-methodologies have been try-ing to address this kind of environments for a long time. The European ...

      Extension-based argumentation semantics have been shown to be a suitable approach for performing practical reasoning. Since extension-based argumentation semantics were formalized in terms of relationships between atomic ...
    • G’3-stable semantics and inconsistency 

      Osorio, Mauricio; Zepeda, Claudia; Nieves Sánchez, Juan Carlos; Carballido, José Luis (2009-09-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      We present an overview on how to perform non-monotonic reasoning based on paraconsistent logics. In particular, we show that one can define a logic programming semantics based on the paraconsistent logic G’3 which is called ...
    • Handling exceptions in logic programming without negation as failure 

      Confalonieri, Roberto; Prade, Henri; Nieves Sánchez, Juan Carlos (Springer, 2011)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Default rules, i.e. statements of the form normally a’s are b’s, are usually handled in Answer Set Programming by means of negation as failure which provides a way to capture exceptions to normal situations. In this paper ...
