Workshop on Defeasible Reasoning with Specificity and Multiple Inheritance

A workshop on defeasible reasoning with specificity was held under the arch in St. Louis during April 1989, with support from AAAI and McDonnell Douglas, and the assistance of Rockwell Science Center Palo Alto and the Department of Computer Science of Washington University. The workshop brought together proposers of systems of nonmonotonic or defeasible reasoning that exhibited subclass or specificity defeat. There were twenty invited participants. The program committee (David Etherington, Hector Geffner, and David Poole) also invited an equal number of participants from those responding to the call for participation. One third of the attendees of the workshop came from abroad.
