  • Abstract
    A system called WMJ is proposed for nonmonotonic reasoning and knowledge-base construction based on the general Horn clause. WMJ introduces a new kind of predicate, the default predicate which expresses a kind of belief that holds in almost all cases. With R. Reiter´s default theory (1980), it shows some common-sense reasoning. With the truth maintenance system technique, it is an automated knowledge-base construction tool
