Abstract

The present paper is concerned with a unifying approach to non-monotonic reasoning in clause logic programming. An outline of a general theory of non-monotonic reasoning is given that is aimed at a foundation of this area. Typical results are presented in the frame of this theory and problems related to logic programming are discussed.
