Abstract

Defeasible Prolog is a Prolog metainterpreter designed by Nute to implement nonmonotonic inference based on a defeasible logic. In this paper it is first shown how to give proof conditions for even-if conditions of Nute’s defeasible logic that allow also the preemption of defeaters. These conditions are then implemented to the defeasible Prolog. Finally, some computational results are presented for the given examples.
