Embedding Logics in the Local Computation Framework
Nic Wilson, Jérôme Mengin · Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics · 2001
The Local Computation Framework has been used to improve the efficiency of computation in various uncertainty formalisms. This paper shows how the framework can be used for the computation of logical deduction in two different ways; the first way involves embedding model structures in the framework; the second, and more direct, way involves embedding sets of formulae. This work can be applied to many of the logics developed for different kinds of reasoning, including predicate calculus, modal logics, possibilistic logics, probabilistic logics and non-monotonic logics.
