Abstract

Abduction has long been recognised as a powerful mechanism for hypothetical reasoning in the presence of incomplete knowledge. Here, we discuss the implementation of a novel abductive proof procedure, which we call CIFF, as it extends the IFF proof procedure [7] by dealing with Constraints, as in constraint logic programming.
