Abstract

Signed formula can be used to reason about a wide variety of multiple-valued logics. The formal theoretical foundation of logic programming based on signed formulas is developed in [14]. In this paper, the operational semantics of signed formula logic programming is investigated through constraint logic programming. Applications to bilattice logic programming and truth-maintenance are considered.
