Manipulating Paraconsistent Knowledge in Multi-agent Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4496))

Abstract

In this paper we introduce first order Paraconsistent Annotated Multimodal systems Mτ which may constitute a framework for multi-agent system reasoning. Such systems are capable of handling imprecise, inconsistent and paracomplete knowledge in a non-trivial manner in their structures.
