Annotated nonmonotonic rule systems

Annotated logics were proposed by Subrahmanian as a unified paradigm for representing a wide variety of reasoning tasks including reasoning with uncertainty within a single theoretical framework. Subsequently, Marek, Nerode and Remmel have shown how to provide nonmonotonic extensions of arbitrary languages through their notion of a nonmonotonic rule systems. The primary aim of this paper is to define annotated nonmonotonic rule systems which merge these two frameworks into a general purpose nonmonotonic reasoning framework over arbitrary multiple-valued logics. We then show how Reiter's normal default theories may be generalized to the framework of annotated nonmonotonic rule systems.
