Abstract

In this paper we introduce preference rules which allow us to specify preferences as an ordering among the possible solutions of a problem. Our approach allow us to express preferences for general theories. The formalism used to develop our work is Answer Set Programming. Two distinct semantics for preference logic programs are proposed. Finally, some properties that help us to understand these semantics are also presented.
