Abstract

We report on preliminary research towards native algorithms for query answering over relational nonmonotonic Multi-Context Systems (MCS), i.e., algorithms that do not rely on computing equilibria. Inspired by techniques for query answering in distributed answer set programming, we identify MCS settings where a generalized query answering algorithm is effective and efficient; confirmed by a preliminary evaluation on a real world application.
