Abstract

We develop a method for query-answering from prioritized default theories. This approach allows for computing queries in a prioritized variant of default logic that has been recently proposed by Brewka. This is accomplished by extending an approach to query-answering in conventional default logics based on the idea of structure-oriented theorem proving.
